Re: Using pslegend

Hi-

To pipe many lines of text into pslegend you use the Unix HERE DOCUMENT style, i.e.

pslegend various_options << EOF >> map.ps
line1
line2
line3
...
EOF

Your single text example triggered a bug in pslegend; now fixed in r12975.  If you just want to place one sentence of word you are better of with pstext.
To draw the box, specify a pen via +p<pen>
I cannot reproduce your box vs text displacement though, and hard to guess what version you are using.
