I don't get the point. You don't want to wait a long time --- for R to 
finish or reading the manuals or ...?
What about trying with small exmaple data at first? There is much 
literature around with example code, at least for similar problems.


Anyway, you might want to assign the results of your computations to a 
variable:
   mycalcs <- glmmPQL(plfp .....)
then you can print the object:
   mycalcs # or print(mycalcs)
and "summarize" it:
   summary(mycalcs)

Does this answer your question?
