A number of people have replied to me on this subject.  A couple of
people gave me reasonable answers (for which I am thankful).  The
people who told me to use the "titeInhibit" resource in xterm were
wrong, but they showed that there is a bug in the MIPS xterm terminfo
entry.

By default, the ti/te strings, or rmcup/smcup in terminfo, should
cause xterm to switch buffers.  The titeInhibit flag can be set to
true to inhibit this behavior, but there is no flag to force the
behavior.
