Hmm

When i search for ncurses on youtube, i see plenty of C-like code, which doesnt look script'ish as php or java script for example.
Though, it could be perl... but then again, the TO asked for a script, and to my believe perl is out of that (general usage) range.

Trying to say:
With my knowledge, to my understanding ncruses seems like its providing a programming language API which then needs to be compiled - and therefor is not a script. (please correct me if i'm mistaken on this)
Furthermore, tput bold is part of ncurses support utilities, which was in this thread said to be not working on some systems.

Code:

$ yum provides tput
Loaded plugins: langpacks
ncurses-5.9-16.20140323.fc21.x86_64 : Ncurses support utilities
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/tput

Which makes my confusion - perfect Smilie

Thank you
