The smit or smitty panels are the System Management Interface Tool and are just helpful panels to complete tasks that you can do on the command line, if you know how.
Is there a specific subject area you are trying to understand? e.g. network definitions; user management; system backup; console assignment; disk allocations ...... etc.

panels(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions panels(3CURSES)
NAME
panels - character based panels package
SYNOPSIS
#include <panel.h>
DESCRIPTION
The panel library is built using the curses library, and any program using panels routines must call one of the curses initialization rou-
tines such as initscr. A program using these routines must be compiled with -lpanel and -lcurses on the cc command line.
The panels package gives the applications programmer a way to have depth relationships between curses windows; a curses window is associ-
ated with every panel. The panels routines allow curses windows to overlap without making visible the overlapped portions of underlying
windows. The initial curses window, stdscr, lies beneath all panels. The set of currently visible panels is the deck of panels.
The panels package allows the applications programmer to create panels, fetch and set their associated windows, shuffle panels in the deck,
and manipulate panels in other ways.
Routine Name Index
The following table lists each panels routine and the name of the manual page on which it is described.

RETURN VALUES

returns OK if it executes successfully and ERR if it does not.
