(I am assuming ã and ä are curly quotes.)

  $evt = AEBuildAppleEvent('TECx', 'Conv', typeApplSignature(), 'MACS', 0, 0,
    "'----':TEXT(\@), 'frmE':TEXT(\@), 'toE ':TEXT(\@)",
    $string, $incode, $outcode
  );

Note that if we don't use double-quotish interpolation, it is TEXT(@), not
TEXT(\@).

  $evt = AEBuildAppleEvent('TECx', 'Conv', typeApplSignature(), 'MACS', 0, 0,
    q"'----':TEXT(@), 'frmE':TEXT(@), 'toE ':TEXT(@)",
    $string, $incode, $outcode
  );



Think of it like:

  sprintf("'----':%s, 'frmE':%s, 'toE ': %s", $string, $incode, $outcode)

But the AE stuff uses TEXT(@) instead of %s or something, and it is
formatted differently than %s would format.
