R help - Mar 2006 - Newton-Raphson with analytical derivatives

Hello,
Can someone point to a package with Newton-Raphson
method using analytic derivatives. This is just for
a 1D problem. Could not find easily anything suitable.
Thakns,

If you remove the graphics-related lines, the few remaining lines is
Newton-Raphson over an expression.  Don't take this too seriously, it 
was a mere toy with this to get an initial feel of the R language.  :-)
