labeled boxes in troff

I want to make boxes (tables) using troff with the label in the top line.
Example follows:

	+------- BOX LABEL ------+
	|                        |
	|  stuff inside of the   |
	|  box the way I want it |
	|                        |
	+------------------------+

I am looking for the "easy" way.  I know I can do it by drawing lines to
make the box but I would like to come up with an automated way to figure
out where the lines go.  Anyone fight with this and have a good answer?

Thanks.
