[R] z and p

Dear useRs,

I use pnorm to calculate the area under the normal curve to the left of z.
Now, is there a function which provides the z value given a certain area?
I wrote a function which finds it in about 20 iterations, but it seems to me
not the best solution; I'm just curios if there is an already built function.

Regards,
Adrian
