You can't. The Frontier "Commercial" suite dates from the pre-OSX days, so
it does not understand OS X application bundles and doesn't see or know how
to parse the .scriptSuite or .scriptTerminology files inside the bundle.
However, it should not be hard to teach it to do so, as the format is
extremely simple and easy to read - to see what I mean, just say in the
terminal:

  cat /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/*.script*

I bet that a version of the Commercial suite that could find and parse
these files would take just a couple of days to write. m.
