The format of the index files is simple. You can easily write a script 
to accomplish waht you want, or even do it manually. First you need to 
add the name of the index group,

[ the_name ]

Then follows the list of atoms belonging to the group. If you want the 
440h atom of the protein, then just write 440 plus the number of the 
first atom in the protein. So if your protein starts at atom no 123, 
then its 440 atom will be number 563. Your index group will look 
something like this:

[ the_440th_protein_atom ]
563

This you can do with the text editor of your choice. Simple as that.
