Author Retrieve the last primary key assigned

After I do an insert to a table is there a way to retrieve the primary
key that was assigned? I'm just blanking on this, but I'm sure there's
a simple way. Is there something like:

-- do an insert to myTable
theLastNumber := myTable. getLastPrimaryKeyUse
d

Thanks for helping me in this probably silly question,
Chris

Not after, but as part of the insert.
