how to send an <<event XXXXxxxx>> in a script?

(DISCLAIMER: Please pardon the attempt to show chevrons in the subject
line; not sure how they would turn out after going through the list
server. I will use << and >> henceforth instead of trying to reproduce
option-\ and shift-option-\)

Is there any way to send an <<event XXXXxxxx>> using a script? I've
tried something along the lines of
tell application "TestApp" to <<event XXXXxxxx>>"paramText"
tell application "TestApp" <<event XXXXxxxx>>"paramText"
tell application "TestApp"
<<event XXXXxxxx>>"paramText"
end tell
I've also tried parentheses around the "paramText", which is the direct
object of the XXXXxxxx event. (Obviously, my generic names are merely
for the sake of example)

Thanks,

Patrick Wynne
