     It's something easy, but it's not easy to find.  You need to call
	  Success = GetScreenData(Buffer, Size, Type, Screen)
     Where
	  BOOL Success;
	  CPTR Buffer;
	  USHORT Size;
	  USHORT Type;
	  struct Screen *Screen;
     This function copies into the caller's buffer data from a screen
structure.  Typically, this call will be used to find the size, title bar
height, and other values for a standard screen, such as the Workbench
screen.
     To get the data for the Workbench screen, one would call
	  GetScreenData(buff, sizeof(struct Screen), WBENCHSCREEN, NULL)

Note: If the requested standard screen is not open, this function will have
the effect of opening it.

To read about GetScreenData() in the Autodocs, start reading about
GetPrefs().  Because of something wrong with the file GetScreenData doesn't
show up in the outline.  You have to page through the GetPrefs() section to
find it.
