You don't need the DOS/Win versions.  Turn it on by using a termcap with
the OV attribute.  Go into define screens and hit update.  It'll tell you
you're converting a monochrome screen to colour.  You then "paint over" the
screen.

If you've already designed a screen, you're basically forced to redesign it
a second time just to get the colours.  

Or you could try the suggestion about using Laura's tool, although I have
-no- idea how it works.  Maybe it takes the pain out of it.
