>>What I want is to smooth these edges without making the flat area rounded and without changing the rest of the object So the resulting object would be sort of a hemisphere, right? For something like that, smooth wouldn't work well at all; for that, it'd be easier to tessalate the area you want to make curved to however dense you needed, select vertices, taper them (or 2d scale them from a top view), deselect the upper vertices,taper the remaining ones, etc, till you got the curve. Or you could use that hemisphere as a template to make a new profile w/the addition of the part you wanted rounded, then surf. rev. it. Sorry if I misunderstood what you needed, David.
