Can't get my <Insert> key to remap

I'm new to VIM and using the Janus plugin collection on MacVim.

For whatever reason the key is mapped to :help. And I can't figure out how the heck to get it remapped. I want it to remap so that it goes into Insert from normal mode, and then goes back to normal mode from insert mode. I found this snippet somewhere else and have loaded it into my .vimrc, but no love... it still maps to help.

nnoremap <Insert> i
inoremap <Insert> <Esc>

What am I doing wrong? Or, how can I find out WHERE is mapped to :help?

thx

<Insert> is the 'oldfashioned' insert key

The one on the numeric keypad is <kInsert>

You can have a look what is currently mapped by doing 

:map <Insert>    
:map <kInsert>
