Out of the box, MobaXTerm's rendering of the Midnight Commander screen looks like this (ZOC by comaprison to the right; PuTTY looks similar):

How can I fix this? Is there some environment variable I could set on the server, or some obscure setting in MobaXTerm?
Also, none of the terminal themes seem to do anything. I've picked the light themes and connected to sdf.org but the colors are still those from "dark background".
