That's what I was gonna say, but it would have taken me longer and it wouldn't have been as good.

I just want to add that your documentation can serve both as manual for the desktop app and to reveal user and business requirements for the Web app.

Sounds like a gig I'd never want to leave :-)

I've been asked to create user documentation for a

understanding that they will be moving from this
stand-alone desktop application to a web application
in the next 18 months.

Lectures about how desktop apps are different from web-based apps are unhelpful when the person who hands you your check is waiting for an answer. Besides, it's quite possible to create a web-based app that works--from the user's point of view--exactly like a desktop app, especially when the desktop app is already there to serve as a model.
