TypeText on OS X?

I've found the TypeText command to be very useful in OS 9 (I believe it's from "Sandi's Additions". It basically makes the computer think that you just typed in something with the keyboard. Is there anything like that for OS X?
-Tom

(example:
tell application "Finder"
TypeText "Macintosh HD"
TypeText "o" with command
TypeText "Applications (Mac OS 9)"
TypeText "o" with command
TypeText "SimpleText"
TypeText "o" with command
TypeText "I'm writing in Simpletext...yeah!!"
end tell

--yes, i know i could just open simpletext but I wanted to show what typetext did....
