	yeah, i have waded through /proc looking for where top
	gets the actual percentage number and it just isnt there.
	i am suspecting that top takes another number from within
	/proc file and generates an actual xx% value.
	anyone else have ideas on how to get a % value out of a 
	/proc file? I know there must be some way since there are

	what I want but from a gui
