Standard deviation from MANOVA??

I'm guessing this was supposed to be:
   myfit2 <- lm(y2 ~ x1 + x2 + x3, data=mydata)
I suppose it is possible that what was desired were the standard  
errors around the fitted mean estimates (which I think is what this  
would deliver), but what was asked were for "standard deviations". I  
admit to being puzzled that `manova` was being thought of as a method,  
since the sample or population standard deviations should be derived  
from three applications of `tapply`. I think BruitishFruit should tell  
us what he means by "... don't get the standard deviation values" in  
sufficient detail that we get an unambiguous description what  
"standard deviations" are being requested. (Or he can pose a small  
test case with the "correct answer".)
