1. A method for enabling a user station to access a target host, said method comprising the steps of:
- accessing a function residing on a web server;
requesting said function to instantiate a host access function on said user station;
accessing a host server by executing said instantiated host access function; and
,establishing a single session between said target host and said user station.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for developing persistent, single implementation host access applications deployable across multiple platforms. The interaction between host and clients is accomplished directly without platform-specific server function and with data-stream, versus screen, manipulation of host information.

11. A method for enabling a user station to access a target host, said method comprising the steps of:
-
accessing a function residing on a web server; requesting said function to instantiate a host access function on said user station; accessing a host server by executing said instantiated host access function; and establishing a session between said target host and said user station;
wherein said target host communicates with said user station by way of data streams, said host access function parses said data streams into a presentation space, said presentation space is parsed into input fields, output fields and data blocks and wherein said input fields, output fields and data blocks are used by a user applicaton in sending and receiving formatted information for a user.
