You can use the send message. Then the syntax will be the same as the  
one demonstrate in the "Making new objects" subpatcher of the  
thispatcher help file. For instance:

	this.patcher.message("script", "newobject", "comment",
					"@varname", i + "_unitlabel",
					"@presentation_rect", 280, y, 130, 20,
					"@patching_rect", 280, y, 130, 20,
					"@presentation", 1,
					"@text", ppList[i].unit,
					"@fixwidth", 1
					);
