fyi, that's probably the version of man, not the version of top.  Try 'top 
-v'.

But you're correct, the man page for top may not have the CPU state 
information spelled out.  It isn't in my version (from procps-3.2.5).


As a general rule, if you're going to tell someone to RTFM, it's a good 
idea to make sure the FM has the material there for them to R.
