I don't know how STATUSLINE works or what can be termed "simple", but
the following small modification to Ken's code (putting a CR in the
format string) works on VT-52 compatible terminals (is that the same
as ANSI?). I think it fails on Windows though (because the CR makes a
new line there). Here it is:

FOR i = 0, 10 DO PRINT, i, FORMAT = '($, "i = " ,I4,
"'+STRING(13B)+'")'
