It’s not clear from your post where you are having difficulties, so I’ll try to help out from a couple of perspectives…

1. If you’re wondering how to get .atn files from your hard disk "into" the Actions Palette, there are a couple ways to do this. Probably the easiest is to drag/drop the .atn file(s) from a Windows Explorer window into Photoshop’s window.

2. The other is to open the Actions Palette Menu and choose Load actions… from the menu. Locate the .atn file wherever it is saved on your hard disk.

3. If you are wondering how to get a given .atn file to show up in the Actions Palette Menu: * Shutdown Photoshop
* Put the .atn file in your equivalent of

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 8.0\Presets\Photoshop Actions

* Restart Photoshop

Note: Putting .atn files in this folder is not a requirement. It is a convenience.

4. If the name of the .atn file (less the ".atn") is listed at the bottom of the Actions Palette Menu, click on that menu entry to copy the action set into the Actions Palette.

Does any of this help?
