I could be wrong, but I believe what you have to do is create a
"shadow". On my ArcaOS system, you can right click on an object and
"Create Shadow" and it will then ask where to place the shadow (to the
Desktop) and then you have a shortcut to that obj on the desktop. 

I think object oriented stuff was taken to the extreme on WPS. You
could do a lot of really cool stuff, like drag docs to the printer to
print them. And one feature I used a lot was having sort of a "work
folder" and if I opened that folder (filled with shadows), everything
in the folder was opened. I could have a "BBS" folder, with telnet,
multimail and dos shell "shadows" and when I opened it, all those would
open up.
