Great.  There is almost always a simple explanation to everything.

Good.

This is really a question for the aroma.affymetrix mailing list,

  http://www.aroma-project.org/forum

and it has been asked and answered there before.  I make an exception
and answer it here.  First, you probably mean "probset id" not "probe
id" (big difference and there is no such thing as "probe id").
Second, in the aroma.affymetrix world we use the term "unit names"
instead of "probeset id" (there is good reason for this, but I won't
explain it here).  You are probably looking for what
extractDataFrame() provides, cf.

  http://www.aroma-project.org/howtos/extractDataFrame

Make sure to look through http://www.aroma-project.org/ - that's the
number one source for all documentation of aroma.affymetrix and
friends.

Hope this helps

Henrik
