better make that
  Out <- lm(A ~ B + C + D, data = mydata)
and then
  summary(Out)
computes the usual t statistics. See the source code for what is exactly
computed. Several components of the summary also have their own extractor
function, e.g.
  coef(Out)
  vcov(Out)
extract the estimated coefficients and covariance matrix respectively.
Thus, you can compute the t statistics by hand via
  coef(Out) / sqrt(diag(vcov(Out)))
