See ?glm in the base stats package or ?lrm in Frank Harrell's Design
package on CRAN.

BTW, doing:

  help.search("logit")

or 

  RSiteSearch("logit")

would provide you with the ability to do keyword searches of your
current R installation or the online e-mail list and documentation
archives, respectively.

You should also review Chapter 11 - Statistical Models in R in "An
Introduction to R", which is installed with R or available online under
the Documentation/Manuals link on the main R web site.
