Finally I have found the solution to the script that made 3 in 1 step 
the compilation dvi-ps-pdf, in order to get the final document in pdf 
and with the pstricks pictures right. Someone of a WinEdt list gives me 
the solution:

Here is the macro script I am using for the latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf 
route. Save it as, eg., %b\MiKTeX\latex2dvi2ps2pdf.edt, and create a new 
menu entry and button for it (the Help covers this extensively).

---------------------------------------------------
// Run LaTeX
Assign("LaTeX-Wait","1");
Release("LaTeX-Viewer");
Exe("%b\Exec\%$('TeX System');\LaTeX.edt");
IfFileExists("%P\%N.dvi","","JMP('End');");

// Run dvips
Assign("dvi2ps-Wait","1");
Release("dvi2ps-Viewer");
Exe("%b\Exec\%$('TeX System');\dvi2ps.edt");
IfFileExists("%P\%N.ps","","JMP('End');");

// Run ps2pdf
Exe("%b\Exec\ps2pdf.edt")

:End::
// Restore Execution Modes preferences
Exe("%b\Exec\%$('TeX System');\ExeMode.edt");
End;

Thanks to everybody for their help.
