I don't believe there *is* a built-in LEGEND procedure
in IDL 7, and I don't know much of anything about Ray
Sterner's routines, except that it would surprise me
a GREAT deal if one of Ray's programs didn't work in
PostScript!
All that said, I think most people use AL_Legend
from the NASA Astronomy Library:
