Forecasting Intervals for ARIMA and Holt Winters

I am working on some revenue projections for work and am brand new to eviews. I have completed the holt-winters and arima forecasts my boss had asked for but he also wanted some "95% confidence intervals" as he calls them. I know it would be more like a 95% prediction or forecasting interval but I have no idea how to calculate these in eviews. Any ideas? Thank you so much in advance.

We do not provide forecast errors for Holt Winters (in fact in traditional Holt-Winters there is no such thing).
For ARIMA, when forecasting, enter a name for the forecast standard error on the forecast dialog, and then produce the bands from that error series.

Is that possible when using the automatic ARIMA option?

No, but once you have used the auto-arima to select the best model, you can have it output an equation object with that model, then use the equation to create the intervals.

Once I've selected the best model how do I get that equation? I know how to construct the interval once I have the SE. Thank you so much for your help.
