I did some Google searching and found various suggestions depending on the
style of Mac keyboard:

Help Key
Home Key
Fn-m
Ctrl-Fn-m
Ctrl-Fn-Return

See this link<http://getsatisfaction.com/oreilly/topics/the_great_insert_key_mystery>
.

Also "Command key works as the Windows key, the Option key as the Alt key,
the Help key as the Insert key, and the Clear key as the Num Lock key"
from this
link<http://askville.amazon.com/Mac-keyboard-button-acts-windows-Pause-Break/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=61154515>
.

Whichever button Win-Test thinks is INSERT you can remap (suggestion: define
the semicolon (;) as a replacement for Insert).

If using Win-Test 4.2 or later, you can use a LUA script to do the function
of Insert, and assign the Script to any key that you like.
