Assuming that you run example(sm.sphere), you get the behaviour you 
describe. If you then do:

sm.sphere(lat, long, sphim=TRUE, kappa=15, panel=TRUE)

adding panel=TRUE, you should see the control panel. You didn't quote the 
command you gave, so perhaps this was what you did - I've only tried on a 
Linux platform.

Hope this helps,
