You'll need to get the current development version of GNATS
from CVS...it contains very few changes from GNATS 4.0 and,
IMO, it's just as reliable.

Follow the instructions for "Getting a Copy of the CVS Repository"
on http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=gnats if you want to
know how this is done.

will SUBM command
> return new PR number ?

Assuming the SUBM command succeeds and creates, say, PR 1969,
it would return the following:

351-The added PR number is:
350 1969

As for the GNATS client utilities...

  - pr-edit will return the new PR number if it is
    invoked with a (new) --show-prnum option which
    is relevant if the --submit option is also
    present

  - send-pr will always return something like:

      send-pr: problem report 1969 filed

    (it now invokes pr-edit with the '--show-prnum' option)
