Ok, this is definitely an option to add to dvips : silently ignore the
src: specials.

Out of the box, yes it is using the MiKTeX configuration. However, if
you installed WinEdt from the TeXLive 5, it should have installed a
bunched of configuration files to handle fpTeX.

I'm not that much a WinEdt user, but WinEdt 5 adds the '-src' option
when calling latex.bat -- as well as the option '-c-style-errors' if
checked in the appropriate box.

Are you sure you dvityped the file as compiled by WinEdt ? Because
I can't see much more explanations to your observations...
