Patrick,

Thank you for your response. It appears I was unclear or am unclear as
to your reply. The code, which I found in this group, works with the
Edit window of Notepad to get text in that window by using its Handle.

The AS400 window displays text that I can copy both manually and with
code. I tried using the same approach (using posted code) to get the
text from the AS400 window (which I have the handle) as I did with
Notepad without success. The Client Access has two processes running
pcscm.exe and pcsws.exe. I don't know which way to go from here and
was hoping to get some direction if not a solution. I am relatively
new to API but I believe it is my lack of understanding of how text is
displayed in this window that has me at a stand still. If anyone has
information on how data is transferred and displayed in a terminal
emulator or can point me to such information I would appreciate it.

I am hoping that the text can be retrieved easy enough and I am just
using the wrong API Function. When I use this code on the Main window I
do successfully get the Text in that window which is the Title. Since
the window that contains the text I wish to get has no title and that
is what I get "nothing" I feel I am using the wrong API call.

Thanks again for any assistance.
