Type "background white" on the keyboard. You won’t see anything as you type, but when you press Enter, the screen should go white. If not, you misspelled something. Try again. You may try other basic colors as red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, orange, or violet. White, however, will save you a lot of printer toner/ink, when you print.
File, Print, OK (to PRINT the RASMOL window directly to an attached printer).
Edit, Copy will put the RASMOL image into the "clipboard." Next, open the word processor or graphics program of your choice. Edit, Paste the image into a document.
