I tried to find that line in texmf.cnf but couldn't find it. There is a
line like 

TEXPSHEADERS = .;$TEXMF/dvips//;$dbfonts//type1//

that until now I've commented out, but I don't think this is the one.

Also, since I use the 4TEX program to run DVIPS, I'm not sure this DVIPS
will be reading any info from the "texmf.cnf" file...

No, you can add .; to your DVIPS psfiles path (see texmf.cnf). 

somepath=.;c:/frans/eps;c:/funny/pictures

calling and placing an epd picture file

Ton explained to me that the eps file path can't be given in the command.
I have now placed this command in the toip of my file:

\stelexternefigurenin[gebied=c:/ourfiles/eps/]

So now TeX knows where to get this file. Luckily, it could also take the
bounding box info from that file.

DVIPS couldn't find the given EPS though, at printing time. After I copied
the EPS to the directory where the .TEX file also resides, this was
solved.

So I guess I must keep any EPS files in the current directory?

\regelmidden{
\externfiguur
        [lsylogo.eps]
        [breedte=4cm]
%         [breedte=.2\zetbreedte]   % Ton's good suggestion 
%         [breedte=4cm,methode=eps] % eps spec not necessary
        }

Met hartelijke groet!
