Yes.

Drop that "-nw" switch: that's what causes you the trouble. The DJGPP
port of Emacs doesn't need that switch; it exists only for special cases
like for blind people who need to use Emacs in conjunction with a speech
synthesizer. Using -nw requires you to have a real termcap entry
installed on your machine, something most DOS installation don't have.
AND you lose the colors. So just drop -nw, and live happily ever after.
