Well John, I used your approach of copying the entire iTunes folder from the
USB drive to the music folder in the Mac. It took two tries and a whole lot
of stumbling around learning how to work with finder but all the music made
it across. I'm not too concerned about all the iTunes configuration and
tracking files, etc. Unless they clobbered something in the Mac's iTune
folder, I will just let them be until I learn how to configure iTunes on the
Mac properly. I'm also making some headway in understanding how to interact
with MacOS controls and other objects.
Lesson #2 will focus on moving the information in my Outlook.pst file into
the corresponding Mac format and locations along with learning the
applications that handle email, calendar, word documents, etc. Lessons three
and four will be about getting more comfortable with safari and learning
MacOS system management functions.
Eventually, I will create a Windows 7 partition on the Mac and use it to
keep JAWS and K1000 in play.
Well, now for some jazz, a glass of single malt whiskey and then back to Mac
school... Or my bed, whichever grabs me first.
Again, thanks to the members on this list and the apple-support switch-101
pages. It's been only about a day and a half since I took the plunge.

There should be an import option from the file menu, add to library, in
iTunes. You can import files or folders.
To be honest, depending on how comfortable you are as a computer user,
the easier way would have been just to copy your entire iTunes folder from
the PC and paste it on the mac in your user/music/ folder. This is how I
have done it in the past.
