Where's the PC "insert" key on the Apple keyboard?

What would be the equivalent, on the MacBook keyboard, to the PC's insert key? Also, is there a chart available somewhere that shows all such equivalencies? I'm getting many of them by hit-or-miss, but this one (and there are probably others) I haven't found. Using Windows XP in a Bootcamp partition.

MacBook, late 2007, GHz 2.2 120GB hard drive, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Thanks for the link . . . on the extended Apple keyboard (the one that came with my iMac, and which I am using with my MacBook), the "help" key does function as the insert key. So, I'm all set.

For those who might have this same question, but have a Mac laptop keyboard... I used fn+m for insert and it worked fine in Parallels.
