FANSI-CONSOLE is a nice program from Hersey Microconsulting (313-994-3259)
that provides both of these features.  It also provides a great deal
of other flexibility over screen colors, screen modes, keyboard layout,
etc.  The package is shareware, and can be found on many BBS systems.  
To get the complete package with printed manual is around $75.00

I have no connection with this company other than as a satisfied
customer.
