What you are looking for is the 'title' option on the 'plot' command:

   plot 'FILE.DAT' using 1:2 title 'theoretical' with lines,\
        'FILE.DAT' using 1:3 title 'measured'


If you don't want a data set/function to appear in the key, use 'notitle'
instead of 'title' (and, of course, no text).  Or use 'set nokey' to
eliminate the key entirely.
