Hi Dirk,
The "stats" box is regenerated every time the pad is repaint in order to reflect
all possible changes in the histogram. You can , however, add one or more line
in the following way, assuming the stats box is connected to histogram h:

TPaveText *stats = (TPaveText*)gPad->GetPrimitive("stats");
stats->SetName("Mystats");
h->SetStats(0);
stats->AddText("my text line");
stats->SetTextColor(kBlue);
gPad->Modified();
gPad->Update();
