There is a script in PSP X2 for that - its name is something like "Add Title EXIF" (...sorry I have Czech lang only in PSP X2). It adds all EXIF data. Edit script at your wish.

Thanks for you quick reply, Radim. I will have to study scripting.
Where might I find this particular script you refer to, please?

I believe he's referring to the script "EXIFCaptioning" as he said he was interpreting the title from Czech.
If you aren't familiar with scripts in general, like how to use them, then you need to go up to your View menu and select toolbars - Script. This will open up the script toolbar and you can select the script from the drop down box. To use it hit the Play button, to edit it hit the Edit button (it's the paper with a quill next to it).
When editing, if the options are organized by Corel a dialog for allowing you to edit small settings comes up. If not it will open it in the editor you specify. By default it's the notepad.
If you get the dialog with the small settings you can also open this script in Notepad by hitting the "Text Editor" button at the bottom.
Scripts are written in the Python programming language. Python makes spacing very important so learning the basics of python is a very good idea. Also, visit this article by Corel on downloading the guides for scripting in Paint Shop Pro specifically.

The command names, different things you need to know about script format. All of it can be found by downloading these help files.
I know it's a lot but once you get going it turns out it's pretty easy.
EXIF Captioning - at the moment - uses camera model, aperture, and capture time. So to change it for what you want you have to remove some lines of code and change a small bit of the math. Nothing too major.
