In many Common Lisps, especially on Unix/Linux, formatted output
is not automatically flushed from buffers by a #\Return, only by
a #\LineFeed, so to get this to work as expected you will need to
add a (FORCE-OUTPUT) before the (SLEEP 1) [and similarly with the
CUP example later]:

     (loop for x from 0 below 3
	   do (format t "~C~4D" (code-char 13) x) 
	      (force-output)
	      (sleep 1))
