Speaking of keyboards...on my Windows keyboards I remapped my alt and
Windows keys so that they make sense under Lion using the keyboard system
preferences. Course now in Fusion Windows they are reversed. Seems to me
there was some way to reverse these via via a setting in Fusion. Is this
correct, and can someone point me in the right direction?

yep. use the extended pro keyboard for JAWS based use and sharp keys for
remapping. that will do the trick. 8gb ram on your machine will really help.

Jaws on the virtual Windows machine. Jaws uses the numeric pad, and I
understand the Mac Keyboard on the iMac does not have a numeric pad. I'm
considering purchasing a full-sized keyboard to replace the one that comes
with the iMac and wonder if this is advisable? I also recall reading about
SharpKeys, think I got that right, in order to remap keys for use in
Windows, so not certain which is the preferred option here.

if it was as an example windows XP then you could manage at 1GB, 2GB ideal,
the same with windows Vista at 1.5 to 2GB ram due to it's graphical nature
and added processes.

processors, RAM, disk management, etc and not the use of a virtual drive

you're using a 4GB ram mac setup, your max for VMWare is 2GB. create a disk
size about 50gb depending on the OS you wish to install. from there, it's
pretty straight forward.

should automatically install the VMWare tools including boot support tools.
