Hi -
To change the location of the key, you can use the PPL VECKEY command.  
Here's a note about that:

../fu_2003/msg00833.html

The last argument for veckey is the formatting of the numeric label - 
for positioning it you'll just need the first two arguments.

Here's from a script I use - it puts the vector key up at the top of the 
plot

   yes? vector/set uwnd, vwnd
   yes? ppl veckey/unouser 2, `($ppl$ylen)+0.2`
   yes? ppl vector
