If you want everything then decideTests() is probably not the function 
you want. Instead, you should try topTable(). Something like this should 
work:

topTable(<MArrayLM object>, coef = 1, number = <number of genes on chip>)

You can then change 'coef' to 2, 3,... depending on the number of 
contrasts you have.

HTH,
