 Ah, now for that you'ld have to use middle(1) and bottom(1),  Unfortunately
 no one has written them yet...

 Seriously though: you can run top in an xterm and make the window as tall
 as you can bear, you can filter the top output by username, turn the
 display of idle processes on or off, sort the output order by any of the
 columns shown, or else you can forget top(1) entirely and use ps(1) to
 examine the whole process list.

I'd still appreciate the feature myself. sysutils/pftop has a pager, granted 
it's a bit more important there, but sometimes (especially on 80x25 consoles 
with your colo's airco breathing down your neck) it's convenient.

You can work around it, by dumping output to file and loading that in your 
favorite editor.
