Damyan thank you very much.  Problem solved.

I had been loading nansi.sys which comes with freedos in config.sys.  It 
was obviously doing something but no color.

Your email prompted me to dig up an old copy of ansi.sys and _that_ 
worked right off the bat!

I'm so happy to finally have color.

Gratefully,
Larry
