Using Arena with the Fruit 2.1 engine loaded, I followed the folllowing steps:
1. I entered analysis mode
2. Played 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb5
3. Did a save called French_Winawer
4. Exited analysis mode

Now to play a mainline french game I do the following:
1. Set the level to 2/6      (only necessary if not the default level)
2. Flipped the board to have Black at the bottom
3. Reloaded the game French_Winawer
4. Typed Ctrl-Z to force Fruit to begin play as White

Essentially the same procedure should work within most GUIs. However this was
only tested within Arena. BTW, remind me not to get into a French against you
