Digital BW, The Print

Carl.....I'M DUMB....I cant seem to get the icc profile to show up in 
my list. I have put it in every profile folder I can think of. I have 
done this before when I used to use QTR. I dont use QTR anymore,  but I 
dont remember it being required to use an installer program to place 
the .icc files. Where should I put the 2400-ISP-ADVBW file in OSX? 
Thanks again..DM
