[Alpine-info] transferring .pinerc, etc.

[David Morris]

Worst case, use tar to bundle up what you need and scp or CDROM it between 
machines.

cd ~
tar -czf /tmp/porta.tgz .

will gobble everything in your home directory (and below)... into the 
gziped tarball. dot files are a tad tricky in that normal shell globbing
tends to ignore them, etc.
