Go into edge selection mode, and highlight all the edges of your rectangular shape (like in the attached pic, but of course you'll have to select the ones hidden in that pic too). then apply a Champher to it (if thats how you spell it) with a small value, so that you see a very thin row of polies appear on all those edges. having that will cause the mesh-smooth to keep that light area rectangular.

good luck

In max 6 I've found you don't need to use chamfering.
Select your edges and then set the crease to 1.0
