Need Info about Skyboxes.

I'm really frustrated here with the Skybox. I cannot find any good documents on it. I keep coming up with posts about Bryce and Terragen. I don't have either, I do however have Max. I can create and render out the 6 Images at 1024x1024 res no problem. However, I don't know how the engine puts them together. Here's what I've gathered by trial and error:
Looking down the +Y axis, Image 3,
Looking down the +X axis, Image 2,
Looking down the -Y axis, Image 1,
Looking down the -X axis, Image 4,
Looking down the -X axis then looking up the +Z axis, Image 5
I had to open the images in Photoshop and match them up. But Then in a sub folder I see the images are rotated. This is driving me nuts. I can't figure out how the hell the Skybox works. I've got about 10 Sky images from TurboSquid that I'd like to use.
Any help is much appreciated.
