How do I edit within a cell? In previous version of Excel, on a PC, I would simply click ALT and ENTER. Now, that doesn't work, and I can't figure out or find anywhere the proper key combination.

From XL08 Help ("Excel Keyboard Shortcuts" topic):

Edit the active cell and position the CONTROL+U
insertion point at the end of the line

Hi,

We have two different things going on here - in cell editing can be started
by double-clicking the cell in either the PC or Mac. On the PC Alt Enter
does not take you into the Edit mode, F2 does. If you are trying to find the
equivalent to Alt Enter on the Mac that can be down with the
Control+Option+Return key combination.

You already have the mac equivalent to F2.
