You can draw a rectangle using space, + - and | characters, or look for
"alternate character set" in "man terminfo".

Bahh, + and - are no fun. :)
The below is an old (very old) script I wrote to play with the
alternative char set.
Hopefully the formating will not get too munged.


#!/usr/bin/ksh

#$1=Top left "x,y"
#$2=Bottom right "x,y"

tlx=${1%%,[0-9]*}
tly=${1##[0-9]*,}
brx=${2%%,[0-9]*}
bry=${2##[0-9]*,}


tput enacs
tput smacs
length=$(((${brx}-${tlx}-1)))
height=$(((${bry}-${tly})))

tput cup ${tly} ${tlx} && echo "l\c"
count=0
while [ ${count} -lt ${length} ]
do
echo "q\c" && count=$(($count+1))
done
echo "k\c"

count=1
while [ ${count} -le ${height} ]
do
tput cup $((${tly}+${count})) ${tlx} && echo "x\c"
tput cup $((${tly}+${count})) ${brx} && echo "x\c"
count=$(($count+1))
done

tput cup ${bry} ${tlx} && echo "m\c"
count=0
while [ ${count} -lt ${length} ]
do
echo "q\c" && count=$(($count+1))
done
echo "j\c"

tput rmacs
tput cup `tput lines`
