You should use PRINC, not PRINT. The latter prints the printed
representation, i.e. #\something.

Really? Why is that obvious? What does the obvious print?
What do you normally use to cause a #\newline character to print as
a newline rather than the character object suitable for reading back?

Another data point: This also doesn't work when running CMUCL from a shell
buffer under Emacs. Therefore the problem is probably not with ilisp.

When displaying in an X window, you have to use an X-specific function --
whatever is equivalent to Xlib's XBell(). This is no different from
programming GUI applications in any other language.

There's no way to ring the bell from any application running in a shell
buffer under Emacs. And ilisp makes use of the same underlying mechanism
as shell buffers.
