Actually, the latest version of the GNATS sources has a patch for
returning the new PR number. This is one of the few changes
made after GNATS 4.0 was released. Here's the ChangeLog entry:

2003-08-30  Mel Hatzis  <[email protected]>, Andrew J. Gray
<[email protected]>

         * client.c (get_reply): Check for outfp being NULL.
         (netSendPRCmd): Add flag to show information received.  All
         callers changed.
         * cmds.c (GNATS_subm): Send PR number for new submission.
         * file-pr.c (submit_pr): Return PR number for new submission.
         * pr-edit.c (long_options, handleNetworkEdit, main): Add
         show_prnum option.

If you opt to try this, be aware that it's a change to the GNATS
client/server interface (if you're using GNATS in network mode),
so you'll need to update the GNATS client binaries in addition
to the server.
