how can I flush #debug stream, so i.e.
#debug "." 
will NOT wait until next "\n" ?

#macro g(U,V)(.4*abs(sin(9*sqrt(pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))))*pow(1-min(1,(sqrt(
pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))*.3)),2)+.9)#end#macro p(c)#if(c>1)#local l=mod(c,100

POV-Ray will always flush the output to a file.  It will never flush the
output to the screen.

It sounds as if you want to do some kind of mock "progress bar"
type thing in your #debug stream? That is, something like:

Calculating........

Where the number of dots increases as the calculation progresses?

If so, it's possible the '\r' escape sequence will help. I've used
it to return to the beginning of a line w/o line feed for some
projects, so what you would do is #declare a string (let's call
it "dMessage") containing the string "Calculating.." Each pass
through concat a ".", then do...

#debug concat("\r",dMessage)
