The branching ratios and supercollider cross sections of the two {ital CP}-even Higgs scalars {ital h}{sup 0} and {ital H}{sup 0} of the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) are computed (including the effects of leading log radiative corrections). The gold-plated'' Higgs-boson decay into {ital ZZ}{r arrow}{ital l}{sup +}{ital l{minus}}{ital l+}{ital l{minus}} is analyzed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and Superconducting Super Collider, and the regions of MSSM Higgs sector parameter space where the {ital h}{sup 0} or {ital H}{sup 0} can be detected in this mode are delineated. The prospects for Higgs-boson detection as a function of the detector resolution are discussed. The viability of other decay modes for detecting the {ital h}{sup 0} and {ital H}{sup 0} is briefly considered.
