[R] help with linear mixed models

Dear all,
I want to evaluate a full-factorial linear mixed model with two fixed
factors (S, T) and a random factor (TM. I have tried to do the model in
lmer but at the moment this function do not provide for the F and p-values
of the fixed factors.

I tried: lmer (Arc~S*T*(1|TM), data=b,

 I also tried to do it in lme (nlme package). I do not have grouping
factors in my models, so I do not really know if that it is correct. In
any case, I cannot find the way to include the interactions between fixed
and random factors using this type of models. Someone suggested me to use
glmmML but seems to be implementing for poisson and binomial model (mine
is a Gaussian model).

I tried: lme (ArcP~S*T, data=b, ~1|TIME)

So, please can anybody tell me which one if the correct way/package to do it?
Moreover, in case anybody can help me, is it possible to get the p-value
calculated thru bootstrapping?

Thank you very much for your help in advance,

Adela
