There is a line like
%%Title: Graphics produced by IDL
near the top of the PS file - it would be easy to swap that out with
your own version like
%%Title: Graphics produced by ME

postscript is a text file.
open it in an editor and type in whatever you want.

The OUTPUT keyword is for sending PostScript commands directly to the
file. I assume you are wanting to include some type of metadata, not
PostScript commands? The only thing I can think of now is to
post-process with sed or some other text utility:
sed -e"s/produced by IDL/produced by me/" idl.ps > my.ps
You could even do this in IDL since it is just text.

I'm not sure what you mean by "in there", but if you
mean in the PostScript file, you can use the OUTPUT
keyword to the DEVICE command to send any string you
like to the PostScript file.
Cheers,
