Minimum: a right way and a wrong way. But usually many ways...

What about the shading parameter? 'shading 0.0' will disable
shading, my guess is this is what you want. You could also try
modifying the colourdepthcue parameter, but this is 0 (off) by
default.

Try 'plot noframe' in the first line of the input file.

I'm surprised one can't do this using molscript commands. Perhaps
this is the difference between drawing bonds versus ball-and-stick?
