1.) Save this as file "test1.tex"

% test1.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(10,10)
\psframe[dimen=outer](10,10)
\psline[linestyle=dashed,linewidth=5mm,linecolor=red](10,10)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
% test1.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%

2.) open a console in that very same dir
3.) run: latex test1.tex
4.) run: dvips test1.dvi
5.) run: ps2pdf test1.ps
6.) open test1.pdf

See that it works.

7.) learn how to configure texniccenter (or texmaker) to do that very 
same thing
8.) look for local tex-groups in order to have it done interactively
9.) extend your possibilities beyond your imagination
10.) Warning! Typedesign can be hazardous to your other interests. (DEK)
