Modes of Operation
SMIT can run in one of two modes: ASCII (non-graphical) or X Window (graphical). The ASCII mode of SMIT can run on either terminals or graphical displays. The graphical mode of SMIT (which supports a mouse and point-and-click operations) can be run only on a graphical display running an X Window manager. The ASCII mode is often the preferred method to run SMIT because it can be run from any machine.
To start SMIT using ASCII mode, type the following at the command line:
smitty or smit -aTo start the graphical mode of SMIT, type the following:
msmit or smit -mIf you try to run SMIT using its basic form:
smitit will automaticially detect if your display has graphical capabilities, and run itself in the graphical mode, if possible.

Famous quotes containing the words modes of, modes and/or operation:
“I cannot beat off
Invincible modes of the sea, hearing:
Be a man my son by God.
He turned again
To the purring jet yellowing the murder story,
Deaf to the pathos circling in the air.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“In the final analysis, “style” is art. And art is nothing more or less than various modes of stylized, dehumanized representation.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
