My best idea is that it is related to termcap or terminfo.  Perhaps

Ah yes. I installed from the OpenBSD /usr/ports tree and it looks
like nothing
got installed in that regard. So I cat'ted Xterm >> termcap and ran
cap_mkdb.
But it's still all two-color. What am I mistaking here, please?
It probably isn't installing correctly due to a problem most likely introduced by me :( But you should be able to fix by using sun/xt5250-color.termcap instead of Xterm in your command above. cap_mkdb updates the termcap database and so uses termcap files, not X11 resource files.
