Reading through ?par again, I see that xlog and ylog are "read only". (I
initially thought xlog and ylog were obsolete because I could set them) I
don't find the help to be very clear:

ylog: R.O..  A logical value (see `log' in `plot.default').  See
          `xlog' above.

Instead of (see `log' in `plot.default'), why not have log listed here in
the par help? Or is it an argument to plot()? In which case, why not list
it in the help for plot()? I find it hard to find info for plots because
this info seems to be spread out in several places
