How is the Impressionist plug-in best setup for PS5? It comes with several
sub-directories and a help file, while the /plugins directory also has
several subdirectories. Has someone done this recently?

Haven't done it recently. As best as I recall, I just dragged the whole
Impressionist folder, sub-folders & all, and dropped it onto the
Photoshop\Plugins folder.
My main folder is named Impressionist Accessories. Sub folders are: Brushes,
Factory Settings, Paper & User Settings.
One thing you have to do: Somewhere in there; likely in the Impressionist
main folder, will be the Impressionist.8bf file. Drag this file out of the
folder it is currently in and put it into your Photoshop/Plugins folder.

So; you will end up with Impressionist.8bf file in your Photoshop\Plugins
folder.
Your Photoshop\Plugins folder will have Impressionist as a sub folder, which
in turn will have 4 sub folders of it's own.
Got that!?

Just did this. Didn't even know it was there until that thread a couple of
days ago.
I pulled it off the FrontPage 2000 CD #2 (MS Image Composer.) Go to the
\enu\Plugins folder on the CD and drag both the Impressionist.8bf file and
the Stuff folder into your Photoshop Plug-Ins folder. Rename the "Stuff"
folder to "Impressionist Accessories" and the "Factory" sub-folder to
"Factory Settings." That's what worked for me, anyways. ;-)

BTW, >>>Awesome<<< filter!

After simply copying the files and folders into the Photoshop Plug-ins
directory, Impressionist worked but was missing some functionality, so
I installed Image Composer and now Impressionist is working correctly.

If you start out by installing Image Composer, you may still have to
copy the Impressionist files into the Photoshop plug-ins directory.

Thanks for all the guidance! You've made my FrontPage 2000 far more
interesting to own than it had been up to now.

Impressionist is a plug-in for Image Composer, which is found on disc #2 of the
Front Page 2000 software package
