any ideas? or references I might share with him?

Chris,

Generally, there is NO access from MAXScript to VideoPost. BUT, Lens Effects (Glow, Flare etc.) expose certain controls to TrackView.
You can try to add a Glow to Video Post and then access it like

TrackViewNodes.VideoPost.Lens_Effects_Glow

You can access all related tracks you can see in TrackView this way, for example

TrackViewNodes.VideoPost.Lens_Effects_Glow.Mask
returns 0.0 by default.

You can change the values, create keys etc.
This is about the only way to do it.

Hope this helps.
