As someone who stopped any pretence to being a gentleman once past my
Ph.D.:
One good way to approach this is by adding an extra option.
legend(order(2 "<stuff>" 3 "<stuff>" 4 "<stuff>"))
The first variable plotted on your graph is the response. The 2nd, 3rd,
4th variables are the fitted values. Plug in the text you need.

Ladies, Gentleman, Phds., and everyone on the list way smarter than me,
In Stata 10:
I went to the reference material but could not figure out the following:
Rather than go into the graph editor to label a graph, what would be the
syntax to save that step.
For instance:
I ran a quantile regression. The following graph syntax does not label
the fitted lines by each quantile .25, .5, .75.
graph twoway scatter discount marketvalue || line pred25 marketvalue ||
line pred5 marketvalue || line pred75 marketvalue
The syntax above merely labels each quartile as "Fitted Value" w/o
identifying the quartile. I would prefer to label each quartile fitted
line specifically as "0.25 Quartile Fitted Value", "0.50 Quartile Fitted
Value", & "0.75 Quartile Fitted Value"
