I set my term type to ATARI using the following .termcap


'atari|atari|Chameleon VT-52xl:so=\EF:se=\EG:al=\EN:dl=\EO:im:em:ic=\EL:dm:ed:dc=\EM:bs:cd=\EJ:ce=\EK:cl=\EH\EJ:cm=\EY%+ %+ :co#80:li#24:nd=\EC:pt:sr=\EI:up=\EA:ku=\EA:kd=\EB:kr=\EC:kl=\ED:';

Also place the following lines in your .login or .profile:

echo -n "Terminal type: "
set term = $<
if ($term == "atari") setenv TERMCAP ~/.termcap
endif
setenv TERM $term


Set Chameleon to:
term type:VT-52XL
Backspace:rubout
Parity:None 
Flow:^S/^Q
