I am afraid you're out of luck! This can't be done in any other way
that I know of than by kludging with the prompt command. Other shells
(e.g. 4dos) give this to you as a feature, but dos command.com is not
very handy with this.

I haven't used the prompt kludge for a time but anyway, esc is $e.
So if you want to set the bg to blue, just say 
"prompt $e[<integer>m$p$g" (was it 44?)
