Ok, TOP does not equal top!: Since I moved to the Xubuntu desktop, I have become degraded with the terminal.

Should have thought about the 'caps' on your post, but a bit rusty.
top= "Provide information (frequently refreshed) about the most CPU-intensive processes currently running."
the -d10 behind the command is delay update by 10, thereby giving me enough time to capture the first read.

BTW: Fedora Core 4 is like ancient! Why not use something a little newer?
