Hi Anchal -

You'll run screen on the Unix host you're connecting to. 

Connect first with Putty - after you have a shell on the remote host you 
can run screen and have multiple terminals.

(Note that you don't have multiple sessions - there's only the one
session but you can have many terminals under screen all running in that 
same session.)

The admin on your unix host has probably already installed screen.
