You can easily convince top to produce text-only output. Try a command
like this:

        top -n 1 -b

This will work on the RaQ4.

Older top's do however not have the "b" switch, and so you'll have to
cheat top into thinking, that you have a dumb terminal. This is done
by setting the TERM environment variable, like this:

        export TERM=dumb && top -n1 -b
