  Others have already explained a cope cut. I've tried it, but it takes 
  quite a bit of skill, which I apparently do not have.

  So, since most corners are not 90 degrees, I use a device that you push 
  into the corner and it has a fin on top that bisects the angle. You then 
  take this to your mitre saw, align one leg to the fence, and the blade to 
  the fin. Now you can make the cuts exactly bisecting the angle so that 
  when you fit the molding back in place, it makes a perfect fit.

  I got it from Lee Valley, I don't remember what it is called exactly, but 
  it came up when I did a search on their site for bevel gauges or something 
  similar.
