[R] densities with overlapping area of 0.35

Hi,

I just findout that the KL Divengence depends on the variances of the
distrubutions too and I'm trying to figureout how to do this. please help
me.

let's say 

X ~n(0,1) and Y~n(2*a, sigma^2). Is there any way I can calculate the
"sigma" and "a" corresponding to an overlapping area of 0.35.

Thank you,

Lavan
