[BioC] extracting all GO terms from GOHyperGResult object?

Hi all,

I've been successfully using the GOstats package for a while now to 
do testing for over-representation of GO terms. I'd also like to use 
it as a quick way to output all the GO terms that get tested. 
However, I can't get the GOHyperGResult object to output all the GO 
terms that it says it tested, it will only output those that are 
below the pvalueCutoff specified. Even when I raise the pvalueCutoff 
to 1 (max allowed value), I still can't get all the terms. Here's a 
reproducible example:

 > library(ALL)
Loading required package: Biobase

Gene to GO BP Conditional test for over-representation
356 GO BP ids tested (184 have p < 1)
Selected gene set size: 18
     Gene universe size: 7685
     Annotation package: hgu95av2
 >
 > dim(summary(hgOver))
[1] 184   7

As you can see, the hgOver object says that it tested 356 GO BP ids, 
but only 184 have p < 1, so the summary(hgOver) only has 184 rows. Is 
there any easy way to get all 356 GO terms out, along with their 
ExpCount, Count, Size, etc.?

Thanks,
Jenny
