I am on a new computer and I miss my "old" map with flags and mission contacts on it.  Which file(s) do I need to copy in order get my map back?

You need to copy over the pblip.cfg file. It's located at: C:\Program Files\Monolith Productions\The MatrixOnline\Profiles\StationName\PlayerName_Number

Excellent info, Fickey.

Similarly, do you know the name of the files for the neighborhood mission contact blips, as well as hotbars?  Or is it safe to just copy the entire character folder over?

If you copy the entire folder over it will give you all of the hotbars/custom flags/mission contacts ect on the other computer.

It is a VERY good idea to keep a copy of all your .cfg files from that directory. If the game crashes it can sometimes corrupt your profile. If the server detects a corrupt profile it will reset these files, meaning that you will lose all your map markers (except for tagged hardlines) and your hotbar settings. The number of times I've lost my hotbar and pblip would need a very good calculator to count.
It will save a lot of heartache. The map isn't so bad but I REALY hate having to constantly reconfigure my hot bar.
