Thank you all for your responses. Since I installed this amd64 system I have found a couple of 'unexplained' behaviours compared to my x86 systems. This must be one of them. However, some of you also run amd64 and you do not seem to experience the same. This particular problem is rather weird. Why on earth do these four missing keywords are not in my .toprc files? Neither in my root or my plain user accounts. Even more weird is that I added these in both .toprc files and as if by magic my changes in colour etc. showed up when I relaunched top! Now, as soon as I made some more changes and pressed Shift+W the Def, Job, Mem, Usr keywords disappeared again and all changes were no longer visible. What can be causing this? Should I report it as a bug? -- Regards, Mick
