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)

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.
