OK I've succeeded in overcoming the roadblocks and getting to alpine. Now I find that the nearly 500 messages that were on pine are GONE!! Are they gone for good?

Are they messages in your inbox, or in a folder under your home directory, perhaps in ~/Mail? Or...?
I suspect they are in IMAP. Run alpine_help.sh for an example of what you should put in your .pinerc to use IMAP.
