Terminal autorunning commands at start

How do I make terminal autorun commands at start up? For example, I have several windows of terminal, I want one to automatically run 'top' and a couple others autorun 'man' pages.

Is there any way I can do this?

Google search customizing your ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc there should be ways so that your user environment auto executes things you want to with those configurations.

It has been a while since I read my book on BASH but if I recall, those configuration files can execute such things when a user starts a terminal session.
