There are actually 2 problems. First one is, when using
ctrl-alt-f1 & so forth, it goes to the other console fine,
but when I try to switch back, all I see on the screen is
the output from the underlying x rather than the desktop.

Okay, thanks Jeremy, I appreciate the memory jog. I'd
read it when I first started using obsd & apparently
totally misunderstood it. I guess it never bit me before
because I always used ttyC4 for startx which, in itself,
shows my misunderstanding. I'd always had ttyC4 enabled,
along with a couple more in rc.conf.local. Switching
back & forth between desktop & other consoles okay now.
I've done some more reading elseware, edited my fluxbox
menu for xterm, changing the {xterm} to {xterm -ls &}
and now the aliases in .profile are once again working
too, from xterm. Still don't understand why they used
to work without that extra setting, but it's working,
that's what counts. One good thing came from all this,
I'm finally up to current without any apparent problems.
Thanks again for your help.
