If I understand what you are wanting to do is do a ps |grep something the problem is not your term but ps add a w to the options for every 80 chars (actually it is probably term width ) you want added to the ps output I can't help on the SMIT stuff but it seems that you are on the right path by trying to find term settings on the AIX box. Out of curiosity what shell are you using on the AIX box?
