Or you can put the mouse in editing mode (click in the bottom corner of
the main graphics window where the mouse functions are described) and
you'll now see that "Shift middle-button" is labelled "MovO" and "Shift
left-button" is labelled "RotO". So you can use "Shift middle-button"
to translate one object and "Shift left-button" to rotate one object
relative to the other. You just have to be careful that you pick your
atom carefully if the two objects are superimposed.

Cheers,
Rob
