If you edit the smb.conf file with a text editor, and then make more changes through SWAT, you wont loose any settings.  The only thing you'll loose is comments you added to the file.

When you use SWAT it reads in the all the settings from the config file regardless of how those settings got added to the config file.  Then when you commit, it saves all the existing settings + your changes.
