using curses attributes

[Paul Virgo]

Hi folks...
 so for once I REALLY have a problem:

 Can't seem to use the attrset() command in a screen I designed.
 here's the sample format:


 attrset(A_BOLD);
 mvwaddstr(<win>,<y>,<x>,<string>);
 attrset(0);

 Problem is, the string isn't highlighted at all...
 so what am I doing wrong?? Am I close?

 E-mail or posted solutions will be appreciated,til then I'll keep 
 plugging...
