If the Nova emulator consule is set up anything like the VMS console, 
you might want to direct SIMH console output to a proper ANSI terminal 
emulator. "set console telnet=10000" in your ini file will direct SIMH 
to open a listening port. With an terminal emulator such as puTTY you 
can then telnet to that port "putty -telnet yourhost -P 10000", and your 
ANSI control sequences will most likely work.
