R help - Dec 2010 - source file for rnorm

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am sorry if this is a simple question. I have downloaded the source code for R
but could not find the source file that has the rnorm function definition. Could
you please let me know which file has the function? Also, in general, how do I
find the source file of a given function?

Thanks.
