I'm not entirely sure what these aliments are supposed to look like but this version fills on either side of each argument to your cliWidth and could be a good example/starting point for you:

Code:
    sP() {
        lentotal=$cliWidth
        lenborders=$(( ${#bl} + ${#br} ))
        argstr="$@"
        lenargs=$(( ${#argstr} - $# + 1))
        SPACES=$(( lentotal - lenborders - lenargs - 2))
        if [ $SPACES -gt $# ]
        then
            # Room for args on single line
            printf -v spc "%*s" $((SPACES / ($# + 1))) ""
            printf -v str "$spc%s" $@
            printf "\r%s %-*s %s" "$bl" $((lenargs + SPACES)) "$str" "$br"
        else
            # Need more than 1 line here
        fi
    }

NETTOE(6)							   Games Manual 							 NETTOE(6)

NAME

       nettoe - Networked version of Tic Tac Toe for the console

SYNOPSIS

       nettoe [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       netToe  is  a  console-based version of the classic game "Tic Tac Toe".	It's playable against computer AI, a player on the same machine or
       with another player over the network.

OPTIONS

       -nc, --no-colors
	      disable colors

       -nb, --no-beep
	      disable beeps

       -h, --help
	      display this help and exit

       -v, --version
	      output version information and exit

HOW TO PLAY

       First decide who will host the game. (you or your friend/opponent)

       Now the one who is going to host the game must (do the following):

       1. run nettoe (Doh)

       2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu

       3. choose the option 1 (Host the Game) from the Network Game Menu

       4. type in his name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).

       5. comunicate the IP address to the other player.  ( hostname also works... if resolved, of course) ( I hope you know how to  get  your	IP
       address...)

       6. Just wait for the other player to connect to your host.

       Now for the other player (the one who is going to connect to the hosted game ):

       1. run nettoe (really ?, Yaeh relly.)

       2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu

       3. choose the option 2 (Connect to a host) from the Network Game Menu

       4. type your name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).

       5. type in the IP address of the host or the hostname.  IP address examples: 192.168.0.5, ::1
       Hostname example  : myfriend.hostname.com (must be a valid hostname)

       6. Just wait for the game to start .

       Enjoy. And if you have any problem just let me know.

NETWORK PORTS

       netToe uses tcp-port 7501 for listening port of the server engine.  Thus this port must be transportable across the network, possibly pass-
       ing routers in the path.  For a local game this is of course mostly irrelevant.

AVAILABILTY

       The latest version of this program can be found at http://nettoe.sourceforge.net
