A note -
It seems that the Linux implementation of CURSES here is quite similar
to the way that SunOS by default (ie, BSD-type UNIX) has them. To do
standout type (bold), use standout() to start bold, and standend() to
finish it. Or, use the w- equivalents if you're not using stdscr.
If you have (or can obtain a copy for use) of the "Programmer's
Reference Manual for Curses on the Sun Workstation", it seems to be
rather accurate to things.
Hope this helps...
