Is that still part of the online help or your own opinion?
It's certainly not the experience we had with our versions
of Rasmol. The program always seemed to do some bond
calculating. The tricky bit is this sentence from the
manual -

- especially the "when necessary" bit. We used Rasmol 2.6,
but I think we looked at 2.7 versions as well, and we had
examples with CONECT in the file where extra bonds were added
or bonds in the file not shown (don't remember which). Maybe
our atom coordinates were just too "unchemical". We were
actually showing graphs "as" molecules.
