>>Hi,

But no matter what I enter in the UT Search, I cannot find a thread. What would you enter in the UT Search to find such a message(s)?

I don't know how to determine the size of the window (rows and columns). This is what I was hoping to find in some old/older thread.
I know how to do the label.
