There's just one curve in that file, which was the last used curve.

Here's two versions of that curve, one for the Graphic EQ effect and one for the Filter Curve EQ effect:
GraphicEq.txt
(8.08 KiB) Downloaded 6 times
FilterCurve.txt
(8.08 KiB) Downloaded 7 times
To import the curve in either effect, click on the "Manage" button, then "Import", then select the appropriate TXT file.
Note that the imported curve is NOT automatically saved as a new preset. If you want to retain it you need to "Manage button > Save Preset" and give it a name.

Oh! So the curves that I have named go in that pluginsettings.cfg file?

In the current version of Audacity, yes they do.

In Audacity 2.3.2 and earlier they went into the "EQCurves.xml" file.
