Why these dont work?

ES create subfolders "Macintosh HD:Users:cirno:Desktop:testing:testing2:"

using terms from application "Extra Suites"
	ES create subfolders "Macintosh HD:Users:cirno:Desktop:testing:testing2:"
end using terms from

Is “Extra Suites” an application?
AFAIK it’s a scripting addition

So how this changes things?

To talk to applications you need a tell block or a single tell command.
In contrast scripting additions are accessible directly.

What do you need the using terms from for?
It’s very hard to guess the context of the question

Extra Suites is a faceless background application that needs to be “told”.

This works:

tell application "Extra Suites" to set Dk to ES dock info

This doesn’t:

using terms from application "Extra Suites"
	set D to ES dock info
end using terms from
