Never heard of "smitty".
'smit' is the X11 GUI, 'smitty' is the text TUI (play on
'smit' +
'tty').
IIRC, if you had $DISPLAY set, 'smit' would present the GUI version, if
not, it would automagically call 'smitty' for you.

I had did*not* show you what files it was editing
My recollection is that smit(ty) did /not/ show you the commands that
would be run /by/ /default/.
That being said, there was a (P)F key you could press prior to
executing, one of the many (P)F keys smit(ty) used, that would show
you the command and all of it's arguments which would be run.
