What should my /etc/fstab file look like if I wanted my /dev/hda4 to be

Depends on the filesystem type. I would have left the name lowercase,
but it is your system.

You may want to click up a terminal and do a
man fstab
An example might be
/dev/hda4 /Downloads ext3 rw,defaults 1 2

You might consider setting group permissions on /Downloads as rwx, create
a user and group like dnlds, chown dnlds:dnlds /Downloads and add the group
dnlds to all your users.

http://www.linuxforums.org/security/file_permissions.html is a good read.
