It would be difficult.  It really needs a feature we have planned
but not yet implemented, as part of a macro enhancement project,
which would allow dynamic redirection of macro output to different
files.

However, we looked at what would be needed to create the file you
want, and it turned out to be simple, so we did it.  We added:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
; AliasTitle = No (default) or Yes (generate .hht file with titles for all
; topics containing CSH aliases, like the .hha but with titles not filenames)
AliasTitle=No

This is implemented in the beta h285i.zip, now available at our 
download sites.  We credited you for the idea in hist52h.txt.
Download the beta, unzip it, and copy the dwhtm.dll in it to
your \windows\system32 dir over the existing copy.

Thank you very much for this enhancement suggestion!
