Frank,

Below is some sample code:

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class ;
  by sex ;
  run ;

proc gplot data=class ;
 by sex ;
 plot height*weight ;
 run ;
 quit ;

proc catalog cat=work.gseg et=grseg ;
  modify gplot(desc="Put your new label here") ;
  run ;

  modify gplot1(desc="Another sweet label") ;
  run ;

  quit ;


If you want to add some systematic description to the catalog entries,
you'll need to provide more information.

HTH,
Ken
