Insert the following line in Config.sys
Device=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
where C:\DOS is the path to the directory holding your DOS components and then setup the color for background/foreground using in AUTOEXEC.BAT the Prompt command with the proper sequence. about this last issue I suggest you do a search with Google as there is a lot of info about on the net. I set my display with blue background and yellow character coding
Prompt $e[40;37;1m$p$g$e[33m
