Your difficulty is not particularly a general problems and is easily
handled by running LWPLA to a PostScript file on disk and then editing
that file.  Advice on PostScript files is contained in the new help
file POSTSCRIPT.  You can eliminate the long line or make it into two
and then adjust the bounding box accordingly - you could even change
the font type and size for that line instead.  PostScript may seem
forbidding but - as AIPS uses it - it is very easy to figure out and
gv lets you simple experiment and immediately see what you have done.
I find that scaling the picture to a large size and then converting to
jpg (with unix tool convert) for PowerPoint posters works better than
simply importing the PostScript.
