  On the 1st screen of each shell wizard, check off the "Use Exact 
Coordinates" and specify the X and Y as 0.  Then in the 2nd wizard 
screen when you start aligning the footprints, you will be working from 
a common reference.  If you don't do this, eQUEST does its best to guess 
the alignment -- it is usually better to do it yourself.
