typically it would be just to the right of the backspace key or you can use the 0 key on the numberpad on the right of the keyboard, it should have the letters "Ins" on it.

dude..
do what i did
The ins key on my keyboard is incredably btchy to use, one of those keyboards that the insert key is also 4 other funcitons depening on what key is pressed, and if my flock is on, so i just made a shelf command for it

type EnterEditMode; into your command line,
and mmb drag that to the shelf, then you just click that button and problem is solved.

Hey Brendog, I have a mac too and it took me awhile to find this key. I kept thinking it was a mistake asking for the insert key. It actually is the Home key.
