Probably because I used it, found a mention of various extraction functions
including coef(), and could not find a way to access "Pr(>|t|)" using
coef(). Nor have I had luck with
  help.search("summary.garch", package="tseries")

Possibly also because I have not yet figured out the difference between
S4 and S3 methods, but since the result of my  help.search call displayed S3
functions I don't see how knowing this difference would have helped.

... I don't see how coef() helps because I have yet to figure out how
to use coef() (or any other accessor) to find " Std. Error" of the
coefficient, much less "Pr(>|t|)". summary.garch seems to have only a
print method, with no accessors at all. Can you offer a solution?
