Most likely because gcl and clisp have readline compiled in.

Most likely because cmucl and sbcl do not have readline.  There is
some package somewhere that provides some readline-style capability
for cmucl and sbcl.  I can't remember the name though.

I just use a shell window in xemacs.  Of course, c-p and c-n do
different things there.
