I'm struggling to get a colorized terminal, too... I also have the problem of the fn-keys beyond f4 not working in Terminal.app. I tried the mentioned hint on macosxhints.com, it seemed to work correctly (no apparent errors) but it had no effect at all on what I see in my terminal windows.
If I understand your post correctly (I'm not sure -- this seems to be a little bit beyond my knowledge level -- sorry...), wrapping a command in a screen process is enough to get color and the function keys working. E.g. if I type "screen mc" I should have a colorized Midnight Commander with function keys. Is that correct? Well, neither the "macosxhints"- nor the "screen"-method worked for me -- my Terminal is as grey as ever. mc has color in the Gnome-Terminal, though (but it stays b/w in Terminal.app and regular xterm). I would appreciate any clarification and explanation of these things very much. Of course I would also be happy to do my "homework" and read something about all that stuff, if somebody could post links or keywords (I know google is my friend...).
