Help I am stuck!

Working on the teachbot system and have a question about one of the steps
"Make note of the threadid numbers of both threads and the postid number of the
first post in the bot-teaching thread. "

How do you go about finding the postid of the first post in any thread? I have made a "bot-teaching thread" and now need the first post id, do you have to make a post first?

Sorry, just a newbie and confused? I posted in that thread but haven't had anyone respond so will try here.

thanks in advance!!

If you click on the "#nn" in the top right of a post, it will open a window at http://....../showpost.php?p=646755&postcount=n - the p=xxxxxxx shows the post number (646755 in this case).
