okay.

so... it works!

i'm not sure what happened, but my current configuration is working -  
good colours in screen.

i've got

termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@
defscrollback 4242            #Will be handled localy
attrcolor b ".I"
termcapinfo xterm-color 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
defbce "on"
startup_message off

in my .screenrc and, the pertinent bits of my .vimrc

set antialias
set t_Co=256
set background=dark

and it's working great.


thanks for all the help people.

ps.  i did up upgrade my screen to the latest macports version too -  
4.0.3.

cheers.
