People in general don't seem to care much for terminals anymore... sad, but true.
Misunderstanding, yes its a binary package, as most packages are.
And that one calls binaries from a script is obvious.
Calling a binary from another binary isnt that 'nice'.

But me (was) talking about how to use ncurses, as it seems (to me) one must do binaries too, which isnt scripting - which is where the TO wanted to use bold text (though that would be tput =! ncurse).
Hope you understand me?
Maybe i have gotten just all the wrong youtube videos... but in all of those i watched, NONE of the shown code was bash/csh/ksh!

I love terminals (and scripting), thats why i wrote TUI, as another style of ncurses, and actualy be usable within scripts, without needing to compile it first.

MAN(7)							 Miscellaneous Information Manual						    MAN(7)

NAME
man - macros to typeset manual SYNOPSIS
nroff -man file ... troff -man file ... DESCRIPTION
These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual. A skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/man/man.template. Any text argument t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If text is empty, special treatment is applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .SM may be followed by .B to make small bold letters. A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non- indented paragraph. Default units for indents i are ens. Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros. These strings are predefined by -man: *R `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff. *S Change to default type size. FILES
