Thanks again to those of you who are helping me with this.

It is a typical behaviour for ghostscript, that it thinks,
that your graphic should be rotated to get your vertical
text in a horizontal view. ghostscript is too clever here.
Try it by hand, export the lyx file as PosScript,
then run
ps2pdf --dAutoRotatePages=/None filename.ps
or alternatively with --dPrePress=/None

Sounds like good intuition, and I tried it: but Lyx won't export the
PostScript ("Cannot convert file" error). Same thing when I remove
the .eps extension.
eps2eps on my .eps file gives me this error message:

Sorry, I'm dumbfounded, gobsmacked, out of my depth, etc. I just
want to get my sweet little LyX working like she used to ... she was
so good to me before.
