Duane,

top runs as an interactive process. If you hit 't' it'll toggle on/off the
summary stats. Hit '?' for other nifty toggles. Also check for the
presence of the file .toprc in your home directory. If it's there, and you
have your summary line displaying, hit 'W' to write-out this file.

top is also a front-end to some structures in the proc filesystem. You can
get the same results, although not formatted pretty, by doing :
  [ken@byte-8 ken]$ cd /proc
  [ken@byte-8 /proc]$ cat loadavg
  1.02 1.01 1.00 2/35 868
  [ken@byte-8 /proc]$ cat uptime
  11056.90 29.73
  [ken@byte-8 /proc]$ cat meminfo
        total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
  Mem: 393519104 68407296 325111808 42811392 4042752 30302208
  Swap: 134209536 0 134209536
  MemTotal: 384296 kB
  MemFree: 317492 kB
  MemShared: 41808 kB
  Buffers: 3948 kB
  Cached: 29592 kB
  SwapTotal: 131064 kB
  SwapFree: 131064 kB

Hope this helps.
