VT100 capable Vista cmd shell?

The standard command shell in Vista can't handle the output of the current busybox and displays all the control characters, is there a replacement shell around that can handle the VTxxx characters well enough that I can actually use nano via adb?

Yes I know Vista is a dog, but on my work PC I don't have a lot of option.

I've been looking for this as well. But I've more or less given up to find something to be used via ADB shell. I started making something myself, but interpreting all those ANSI codes proved a bit too much work :)

I find the easiest is to install SSH server on the HERO and SSH in via putty or similar. Most SSH clients support ANSI escape characters.
