Mindpower,

The reference manual explains:

To indicate what kind of object may be passed in and returned, the 
following prefixes are used: 

   x - a general object (atom or sequence) 
   s - a sequence 
   a - an atom 
   i - an integer 
   fn - an integer used as a file number 
   st - a string sequence, or single-character atom 

----------
Also, the reference manual explains the types listed above.
