Comments

You can retrieve a Screen object with the Screen property of the Session object. For example, as shown in the following code, the Screen object is returned and assigned to the object variable SessionScreen.

Dim ses As Object, SessionScreen As Object
Set ses = GetObject("Sess1.Ses")
Set SessionScreen = ses.Screen

To access the presentation space with a Screen object, you must know the exact number of rows and columns that an emulated terminal provides. For example, if a session emulates a terminal supporting 24 rows by 80 columns, you can reference presentation space positions from row 1, column 1 to row 24, column 80. For VT sessions, you can also specify the page.
