It can be done with Enqueue. Here's one that does a cmd-shift-9:

	EvQEl	thePress;

	thePress.qType=evType;
	thePress.evtQWhat=keyDown;
	thePress.evtQMessage='9';
	thePress.evtQWhen=TickCount();
	thePress.evtQModifiers=cmdKey+shiftKey;
	Enqueue(&thePress,GetEvQHdr());

I haven't tried PPostEvent, but it might also be able to do the trick. Why
haven't you tried? Why do people insist on asking the net before trying to
write maybe ten lines of code to test their ideas?
