Isn't the proper way to make the message appear immediately to use a
(force-output) or a (format t "....~%")?

The amazing thing is, back when I was a C++ programmer, I thought that
[Design Patterns] was SUCH a great book.  And I guess it was, in a
way: it made it possible to use C++ and get something done.  In the
long run, of course, that may have been a disservice... - Alain Picard
