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.
