adding to the index

I have a database of some 600,000 records which I obviously don't want to
rewalk or re-create. When I first indexed it using gw 1.3, I did not index
numbers. Short of starting all over, is there a way to go back and add
numbers to the index? I have an @ file listing all the URLs.

You can use the -unindex option to remove the index, while leaving the data,
and then -index with the desired -k option to recreate the index. This will
not require you to reacquire the data, although you will be without a search
index for the duration of the rebuild.
