door aligment (difficult to close properly)

[amalventano@sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

    you know, i've always wondered about this. the hinges appear to be
adjustable where they go into the door, but i've never seen a bolt of any kind
around that area. i always end up using a pair of nickels or dimes to shim the
hinge mating surface (talk about a cheapass(tm) mod).
    anyone know how exactly to adjust these hinges?
