I went through this problem, too...

In your .shrc or .cshrc file, add the following line near the top
of the file:

setenv NAME 'Mark Wade'
setenv ORGANIZATION 'Platypus Systems'  # if you want to change your
					# organization in the header

Either of the lines can also be typed from the command line, though
it would get tedious to retype it each time...
