[R] problem with deriv3?

[B. D. Mccullough]

Using S+ 6 for Linux and 
R 1.4.1

Taking verbatim some lines from S-Plus that work
perfectly, and running them on R, I get an
unexpected error message:

deriv3(~-log(pnorm((2*D1-1)*(b0+b1*TT+b2*Y+b3*LF+b4*NW+b5*D2))),c("b0","b1","b
2","b3","b4","b5"),function(b0,b1,b2,b3,b4,b5,D1,TT,Y,LF,NW,D2) NULL)
Error in deriv3.formula(~-log(pnorm((2 * D1 - 1) * (b0 + b1 * TT + b2 *  :
	Function   ^A is not in the derivatives table
>


I did a search on the R website and at the e-mail archive,
and found nothing of help.

How can I decipher "^A" and make the appropriate corrections
to the derivative table in R?

Please reply to me.  I will post a summary to the list.

PS: I believe that in R I should delete the "log" and instead use
the "log.p=T" option; presumably it is numerically more efficient.
If this is incorrect, please let me know.
