maximum likelihood example?

I'm trying to get a grasp of maximum-likelihood estimation and would like to find a package that performs mle (hopefully a simple example). It seems as if there are plenty of packages that make use of different types of likelihood estimators, but none are of a simple, "newbie" type. Does anyone have a suggestion for which package would be the best for a mle example?
I would suggest that you check out the very good book by Yudi Pawitan entitled "In all likelihood". He provides the R code for *all* of the examples and figures in the book at the following web page. http://statistics.ucc.ie/staff/yudi/ -Bill
