eterm and xter question

hi,

how come that when I run 'top' in xterm, it shows commands so I know what program is using resources, but in eterm, it doesn't???

is there a way I can get eterm to show the commands?

thanks

Can you rephrase your question?  It doesn't make any sense.

obviously, the command column is missing from from eterm, is there away to get the command column in eterm?
