As the originator of this thread, I would like to thank all those that
responded. Each of the solutions were the same as the one suggested above.
The problem is that ver 2.1.1 doesn't support "tput". It is not an option
from the command line of any shell I've tried. 

The closest thing to it is "tputs", which can be used as a termcap entry.
It is not available as an external command. Am I missing something here?
