Checking the psdit prolog, I find that the only change is to have a
second page setup call that rotates the page 90 degrees -- in the '/xi'
definition, it does an 11" translation along the Y axis, and in the
'/xiL' definition, which is called when landscape mode is selected, it
does an 8.5" translation in X, an 11" translation in Y, and a -90
rotation -- otherwise the functions are identical.

You should be able fairly trivially to make a new copy of the psdit
prolog and change '0 72 11 mul translate' to
'72 8.5 mul 72 11 mul translate -90 rotate', and use the -p flag to
psdit to make it read the modified prolog instead of the stock one.

Our psdit.pro file is in /usr/local/lib/lw/psdit.pro -- the man page
should say where it is.
