If you look in the documentation for hiGetMaxScreenCoords it explains this:

The screen coordinates of the upper-right corner on the display screen. These
coordinates take into account the window manager banner so that a window
including a window manager banner can be located at the upper-right corner of
the screen.

hiGetMaxScreenCoords returns the largest size you can specify for a window
that fits in the screen, and that size is the size of the window inside the
window manager border.

If you type hiGetWMOffsets() in the CIW it will probably return:

(5 22 10 27)

The first number is the width of the left and right side border (and the
height of the bottom border), the second number is the height of the top
border, the third number is the total width added for the border, and the
fourth number is the total height added for the border.

If you want to know the screen size, type hiGetScreenSize() in the CIW. It
will return two lists -- the width:height in pixels and the width:height in
millimeters.
