# Subroutines
cls()
{
tput clear
return 0
}
home()
{
tput cup 0 0
return 0
}
end()
{
let x=$COLUMNS-1
tput cup $LINES $x
echo -n "X" # no newline or else will scroll
}
bold()
{
tput smso
}
unbold()
{
tput rmso
}
underline()
{
tput smul
}
normalline()
{
tput rmul
}
move() # move cursor to row, col

tput cup $1 $2
}
movestr() # move cursor to row, col
{
tput cup $1 $2
echo $3
}
# Code starts here
cls # clear the screen to make the output look better
rc=0 # return code
if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
echo "Usage: script5 parameter"
echo "Where parameter can be: "
echo " home - put an X at the home position"
echo...
