Please provide any comment I made for/against "top".  Since my original 
question was based on Windows and I've stated that my (current) Linux 
doesn't support this package, that seems unlikely (even if I didn't 
trust my memory).

There is (that I know of) no real equiv to "top" - as in a command-line 
program.  The equiv to GNOME's "System Monitor" (for example - a gui 
program) would be Task Manager (and I made no comment about that either).

I have no problem with what Execution_Time does (as evidenced by the 
fact that I asked a question about its use) - it measures exactly what I 
want, an estimate of the CPU time used by a task.  My problem is with 
the way it is defined - it provides, by itself, no "value" of that that 
a using program can make use of to print or calculate (i.e. you also 
need Real_Time for that, which is silly - and I disagree that that is 
necessarily required in any case - my program didn't need it otherwise).
