You can’t access files in sub-directories from the Dashboard – so you’ll need to use FTP or other file-level access.
But perhaps more importantly, I would strongly advise against changing ANY theme files – as your changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated. Instead you can make changes using a custom CSS option (if the theme has one) or add via a plugin such as Custom CSS Manager – then you ADD CSS code there that will override the theme’s original CSS.

Thanks. I understand that after I locate the appropriate file and edit it, I have to upload via FTP.
My issue is simply locating screen.css. How is that accomplished?
Look in the theme folder – possibly inside a folder called “css”?
We don’t have access to commercial themes so really have less info than you do :).
Just use your FTP client and look for it. For example I use the Razor theme which has multiple style sheets. They’re located in the root folder of the theme. So:
/public_html/wp-content/themes/parallelus-razor/style-default.css
takes you to the main one.
What I do is copy it to my computer then immediately rename the file on the server to-style-default.css-original, so in case I do something really stupid I can go back. -:)
