1. I have some collections of Plain TeX macroes which I use quite
frequently. I store them in a global texmf directory.
With TeLive I have found the directory texmf-local\local\plain, but my TeX
documenmts could not import. Are there some
enviroment variables (TEXMF for eg.) or how I should preoceed?



You must put your files in the correct subfolder. E.g. plain-tex
macros should go into

texmf-local/tex/generic/mymacros


Given that there is a pre-existing directory <installation root>\texmf-dist\tex\plain, why should a user put his/her plain-tex macros in <installation root>\texmf-local\tex\generic rather than in <installation root>\texmf-local\tex\plain, Ulrike ?
