screen package

In the past I've relied on ansi terminal emulation for both color and 
cursor positioning, but that seems not to work on ME, and seems not
straight forward in XP.  So I'm now trying to use the screen package
again.

Does anyone out there have experience with the screen package in
windows XP ?  I've not yet been able to try it myself but I was
unable over the phone to get it to work for a friend.  

Also I notice (at least on windows ME and XP) the screen package turns
the screen blue.  (Even just calling make-window does this, which
seems strange to me.)  This suggests that it might be easy to add
support for colors, e.g, allowing you to print in red on a green
background.  If that is easy, and especially if this functionality is
not otherwise easy to obtain, I suggest adding it.  If anyone does
know an easy substitute, please tell me about it.
