Julie,

What exactly do you mean by "can not use smit/smitty"?

Do you see nothing?
   does everything else seem okay?
   what about vi - does it behave properly?
   make sure $TERM is set correctly
   (TERM=vt100; export TERM)

Do you see lines that do not line up properly?
   make sure $TERM is set correctly
   (TERM=vt100; export TERM)

Are you unable to used the Function keys?
   try ESC-3 instead of F3, ESC-0 instead of F10, etc.
