Check out the WSDL and/or the docs, the create call returns a SaveResult structure that includes the Id of the newly created object.

BTW, that looks like the old old 2.0 soap api, i would strongly strongly strongly suggest you jump straight to a current API version (e.g. 9.0), the 2.0 soap api is basically a soapification of the old xml-rpc api, and is frankly a complete lemon.
