I did the following to xt5250:

---------------
#!/bin/sh
xrdb /usr/share/tn5250/xt5250.keys
# Jack High, 3 Nov 1999
# xterm  -name "xt5250" -bg black -fg white -tn xterm-5250 -e tn5250 "$@"  &
xterm -name "xt5250" -fn 12x24 -bg gray20 -fg darkGoldenrod4 +ah -cr plum -tn x
term-5250 -e tn5250 "$@"  &
---------------

I inserted -fn 12x24 to change the font size (others might find this a
little large). While I was at it, I changed the background color from
black to gray20 (-bg), changed the font color from white to
darkGoldenrod4 (-fg), changed the cursor color to plum (-cr). The
option "+ah" causes the cursor to be highlighted based on focus.
