The way shell works is that it grabs the first open process and that is the number that it uses for the shell. When you opened the first shell there were 4 things using processes, when you opened the next process 1 was free. When I open my first shell it is usually 15. The numbers really have nothing important to do with the shell. Just a little bit of info. If you want to know what it going on, when you open a shell do a status, by typing status full at the prompt. This will give you a list of the shell processes being used by the system.
