Gene,
Boot the mini into Target mode (hold "t" at startup sound). When you see the Firewire logo floating on the screen, you succeeded. Now connect the mini to the iMac with a Firewire cable. You may have to get adapters to go from FW 400 or 800 to Thunderbolt/mini-DIV on the iMac.
Having done this, the mini drive should appear on the iMac Desktop (Mavis' account). Simply drag the data and documents, music and pictures over to her account in the mini (from iMac Finder window to mini Finder window, both showing on the iMac.
You cannot drag and drop Mail, Contacts or Calendar. You will have to export those from the iMac and import them on the mini. You can export them to the iMac Desktop then drag the exports to the mini Desktop.
You should install all the apps on the mini rather than dragging them (you won't get all of the pieces).
I think I have covered everything. I cannot help with anything dealing with Entourage due to ignorance.
