[EquisMetaStock Group] Copying plot from one chart to another

I have MS 8.01, and am having a frustrating problem.

I want to plot two seperate data series on one chart, one in each of 
two inner windows. They each have different start dates for the data. 
Example: say I have the S&P 500 index with data starting 1/3/1992. I 
also have the DJ 30, with data starting 1/2/1977.

I go to File->Open, select the S&P 500, and plot it in a new window. 
Then I add a blank inner window to the chart. I then select the DJ 30, 
and set the start date to 1/3/1992 (the same as the S&P 500 data). I 
plot this in a new window, which displays 1/3/1992 as the start date. 
I then use Ctrl-C to copy the DJ 30 data, and use Ctrl-V to plot it in 
the blank inner window with the S&P 500 chart.

But when I plot it, the starting date of the DJ 30 is not 1/3/1992, 
but 1/2/1977! So the two plots have vastly different start dates on 
the chart. I tried copying the DJ 30 data to Excel, and that data 
starts on 1/3/1992, just as it was supposed to.

So why does the DJ 30 data copied to the S&P 500 chart start 1/2/1977?

Any help would be appreciated, because I am very puzzled.
