Hi all, 

 
this might be a stupid question, but still. 

Everytime i find some new function it's prettty easy to understand how to
use the syntax and to perform a text. Even the general idea of what the
function does is pretty easy to understand, but i can not find an
explanation (detailed explanation) of the R output for each function. For
example, a function fitdistr() in MASS package i testing the data against
the distributions (wanted distribution). 

fitdistr(k, "lognormal")
>     meanlog        sdlog   
  3.150725905   0.759584332 
 (0.012839319) (0.009078769)

But when i get the result I can not find what these numbers mean. Is there a
explanation somewhere in R help for each function?

Thanks for the help, m
