Hi Raj,
	I'm guessing the "RMSD as a bar graph" is the RMSD header at the top  
of the Multalign Viewer tool.  You can save the header values to a  
file with the "Headers->Save..." menu entry at the top of the tool.   
This will save the RMSD value for each alignment position to a file.   
This may or may not be useful for you since the residues associated  
with each alignment position aren't indicated in the file.
	Alternatively, each residue involved in the Multalign Viewer RMSD  
header calculation gets a "mavRMSD" attribute assigned to it.  You can  
save these attributes to a file by using the "File->Save  
Attributes..." menu of the Render By Attribute tool (available in the  
Depiction and Structure Analysis tools menus).
