1. You don't say what programming language you are using.
2. You haven't been specific about what you mean by 'screen size' - Do you mean the desktop size, or DBPros window size, or something else?
3. You haven't been specific about what you mean by 'text size' - do you mean the size of text displayed by DBPros PRINT & TEXT commands, or are you displaying your own text, or something else?

For 2 & 3, google may be your answer to start with.

Ok, see that thread a little bit down the screen from this one, called 'How do you call DBP commands from a C++ plugin?'

Have a read through that, and the link in the second post of that thread - it'll tell you what you need to know to call another command from your own plug-in.
