Ghostview file finder gets confused?? (VAXstation 3100 with UTWS4.2)

All:

 When I use ghostview, even in a directory with one and only one file, e.g.,
doc.ps, by executing the command: ghostview doc.ps, ghostview tries to
open the file doc.dvi. The file selection window claims that it tried to
open doc.ps, but the error message window claims that it tried to open doc.dvi.
I tried to work around the file finder by renaming doc.ps to doc.dvi and 
then opening doc.dvi but I still get an error message and the previewer 
doesn't work.

 I searched all the source files and there is no string "dvi" anywhere.

 I built the code on a VAXstation3100 that runs Ultrix4.2.

Weird huh?
