Yes, it is captial. 'm' will turn off the memory display! You can also press the 'f' (and 'F') to add/subtract different columns if you wanted a more detail picture of memory. Somewhat interesting note: I used to work at a company that used a lot of DOS based 3270 emulators scattered throughout the buildings. During some troubleshooting of the Token-Ring network, I had set up a few Linux boxes with some network monitoring software to help locate an intermittent beaconing problem. Unfortunately, every once in a while someone would wander by and reset the machine in hopes of getting back the 3270 emulator. Or they'd try to login, get rejected, then open up a trouble ticket. I started launching 'top' on these machines so that they'd not touch. It worked :).
