Retrieving serial or uid in same insert query

Hi,
How could I get the value of the Serial column or the UID of the row
that I just inserted. I should get it within one and the same query
with which I insert that row.
I know this is considered in FAQ but it does not solve the problem.
According to it I should make two queries: one for insert and one for
serial value.
I use iHTML PRO edition to handle Postgreql database. This means that
I can give only one query to the dbserver at a time. And asking
currval(sequence) in a separate ODBC connection is not safe at all.

So, is there any way to get Serial value or UID value within the same
query which inserts that new record???

Thanks
