Thanks for sticking with me Jambunathan, C-h v package-archives RET reports no match also, though there do appear to be commands: package-archive-base, package-archive-upload-base, package-archive-version, and package-archive-contents.
Also, when I run M-x package-list-packages, it connects me to the tromey.comsite and provides a list of available packages (INCLUDING ORG in red, which I assume means it is already installed.) Max... P.S. The ~/elisp file was successfully copied, and I'm no longer getting a load-path error when I start emacs, so I think that solved something. Thanks.
