[yandytex] where Y&Y config for dvi->ps in WinEdt get dvipsone parameters

This is a WinEdt problem, but one that involves how it handles the Y&Y 
configuration, so I'm posting it here (as well as in the WinEdt list).

I'm trying to fix a broken WinEdt 5.5 configuration for Y&Y TeX. 
Specifically, after successfully using the LaTeX button for the Y&Y TeX 
configuration (and even being able to view the dvi using the DVI 
button), I am systematically getting a crash of dvipsone.exe when I try 
the dvi->ps button.

The problem is that the called macro '%b\Exec\YandY TeX\dvi2ps.edt' is 
creating and calling the following command for, say, the file temp.dvi:

"D:\yandy\DVIPSONE\dvipsone.bat" -j -*c -k -*L -*s -s standard -n "temp"

(And that bat file in turn calls dvipsone.exe with the same parameters).
The trouble is that flag "-n": there is no such flag for dvipsone!

Where/how is that command line created by dvi2ps.edt, and how do I fix it?

Is dvi2ps.edt somehow getting those parameters from 
C:\Windows\dviwindo.ini?  But my dviwindo.ini has the following entries 
specifying the flags for dvipsone:

DVIPSONE=-j -*c -k -*L -*s -s=standard
DVIPSONE/Distiller=-j -*c -*L -*s -s=standard

There is no "-n" flag there!

And I can successfully run dvipsone to convert the dvi to ps directly 
from the command line using those parameters.
