We determine an explicit form of a q-difference operator that transforms the continuous q-Hermite polynomials H{sub n}(x | q) of Rogers into the Askey-Wilson polynomials p{sub n}(x; a, b, c, d | q) on the top level in the Askey q-scheme. This operator represents a special convolution-type product of four one-parameter q-difference operators of the form {epsilon}{sub q}(c{sub q}D{sub q}) (where c{sub q} are some constants), defined as Exton's q-exponential function {epsilon}{sub q}(z) in terms of the Askey-Wilson divided q-difference operator D{sub q}. We also determine another q-difference operator that lifts the orthogonality weight function for the continuous q-Hermite polynomialsH{sub n}(x | q) up to the weight function, associated with the Askey-Wilson polynomials p{sub n}(x; a, b, c, d | q).
