Not clear ???

Thats a direct command which you could readily use it.
Did you try that out in a terminal ?

Am not clear about your requirement.

So i should replace echo "col1 hdg|col2hdg|col3hdg|" with echo "one $(tput bold)two$(tput rmso) three".
Here's the example:
Mine is: echo " Date Viewer Editor"
should it be:

echo " Date$(tput bold) Viewer$(tput rmso) Editor"

Also why is the first one is bold & the second is rmso?
