Here's a Rexx script created for me by GETSET that will create an object for 
laplink.  Just edit the paths for your system:
 
/*******************************************************
 * Rexx Script to Create ObjectID: 
 * Created via GetSet.Cmd  Version 1.73
 * NOTE: This duplicates 
 *
 * Edit "OBjectID" VAR if you want new objectID
 * Edit "Loc" VAR to place object in different folder
 * The "TITLE" setting should match the NAME VAR.
 * "Loc" must be an existing FOLDER ObjectID
 * IF you know legal settings for objects, you can
 * add any you want, use this as a template etc.
 * Make SURE you are familar with settings and how
 * OBJECTS work.  See WPTools19.ZIP for information
 ******************************************************/
/***  Load Rexx Utilities  ***/
call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs','RexxUtil','SysLoadFuncs'
call SysLoadFuncs
/*********************************************/
/***  Setup Strings  ***/
Type  = "WPProgram"
Name  = "Lap^Link 5"
Loc   = ""
/*********************************************/
/***  Setup Options Strings  ***/
Options =,
         'EXENAME=E:\LL5\LL5OLD.EXE;'     ||,
         'STARTUPDIR=E:\LL5;'     ||,
         'PROGTYPE=VDM;'     ||,
         'SET COM_HOLD=1;'     ||,
         'SET HW_TIMER=1;'     ||,
         'SET IDLE_SENSITIVITY=100;'     ||,
         'SET INT_DURING_IO=0;'     ||,
         'SET VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION=1;'     ||,
         'TITLE=Lap^Link 5;'     ||,
         'NOPRINT=YES;'     ||,
         'HIDEBUTTON=DEFAULT;'     ||,
         'MINWIN=DEFAULT;'     ||,
         'CCVIEW=DEFAULT;'     ||,
         'DEFAULTVIEW=DEFAULT;'     ||,
         'OBJECTID=;'
/*********************************************/
/***  Create Object ***/
 
result=SysCreateObject(type,name,loc,options,'U')
 
if result=1 then say name||" created."
else say name||" *not* created."
 
/*** End of OBJECTID.cmd ***/
Just edit the EXENAME and STARTUP dir and it will create an object on your 
desktop for you that *should* work, at least it does for me.
PS, GETSET.CMD is available here as GETSET73.ZIP.
