A session is conducted with an application resident on a host computer by loading terminal information at a computer, operatively associated with the host computer and which is part of a network including a plurality of resource locations, from a host access resource location of the plurality of resource locations. The terminal emulation information is processed to conduct a session between the computer and the application. A resource location of the plurality of resource locations is then accessed from the computer while the session persists. The terminal emulation information may be downloaded to the computer from a server of the network. According to one aspect, a common environment capable of being produced under a plurality of different computer operating systems, e.g., a Java environment, is produced at the computer. The terminal emulation information is processed under the common environment to thereby conduct a session between the computer and the application. According to another aspect, the terminal emulation information is processed to instantiate a Session Object at the computer, the Session Object being configured to conduct the session between the computer and the application. A plurality of host access processing objects may be instantiated from the Session Object, the host access processing objects being configured to conduct the session between the computer and the application and having methods which are accessible to an application resident at the computer. A Session Vector which identifies the instantiated Session Object may also be instantiated.
