Undoubtedly.  Unfortunately it would be impossible to write it in LB,  
because the program uses COM methods to read the target from a .LNK file  
(that's how it finds out where Liberty Basic and HTML Help Workshop are  
installed) and also to create the shortcuts to the CHM on the Desktop and  
in the Start Menu.

AIUI, Liberty Basic cannot access methods in COM objects at all.  That  
means it is limited to the older C-style Windows APIs, which cover a wide  
range of things but not manipulating shortcuts.
