Now I'm answering myself because I've found out new things (new for me, 
not for experienced vim users):

The reason for the behavior described in the previous mail is that in 
gvim the terminal type is set to "builtin_gui". This terminal type can 
not be changed.

Now again my question:
How can I get a fully functional terminal (readline support, bold 
character  support, color support) environment from gvim?
Can I define a termcap file for builtin_gui to make the terminal more 
comfortable? What capabilities has builtin_gui?

With best regards

Gabriel Birke
