If you use same tput more than once with some constant argument(s) then do tput once and save output.
After that use variable.

Code:
lear
cat <<EOF
=========================================================
Screen test


EOF
loc0_0=$(tput cup 0 0)
bold=$(tput  smso)
boldoff=$(tput rmso)
save_loc=$(tput sc)
ret_loc=$(tput rc)

# after this init, use variable
echo "${bold}BoldText${boldoff} and not so bold"
echo -e "(Look line 1) Ask here:${save_loc}${loc0_0}LOCATION 0,0 IS HERE ***************${ret_loc}\c"
read answer
echo "${save_loc}${loc0_0}Your answer:$answer   ${ret_loc}"
echo

DESCRIPTION

       glutSetCursor  changes  the cursor image of the current window.	Each call requests the window system change the cursor appropriately.  The
       cursor image when a window is created is GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT. The exact cursor images used are implementation dependent. The intent is  for
       the image to convey the meaning of the cursor name. For a top-level window, GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT uses the default window system cursor.

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

       GLUT for X uses SGI's _SGI_CROSSHAIR_CURSOR convention to access a full-screen cross-hair cursor if possible.
