Put the number you want to use into windows calculator (for instance 9000), then change the radio button from DEC to HEX to get the number you need to use, then add this under the relevant list, the next two numbers are its category and size in the editor (not the game though!), you can ignore these if youre not paticularly a perfectionist (though all your new health items will appear in the monsters category or something), and finally you have its name.
Here is an example:

=====

0x2329 3 40 bfe2c0 Fire Imp

0x2329 is a translation of its number (9000), 9000 in hex is 2329, i dont know what the 0x is for, i just put it at the start of all my thing entries to be on the safe side

3 Tells wadauthor it is a monster, if you want to know what category for something to be put in (healing, armour, monsters ect) look at the number on a similar entry

40 tells wadauthor what size of red square to show representing the monster in the editor

bfe2c0 is the sprite, DO NOT use the real sprite names of your monsters, for some reason it doesnt work, the sprite you use must be something in the IWAD, i just use a frame of a BFG hit to represent all of my 'extra' items, you'll just have to remember thier names to know what they are

Fire Imp is its name in the thing chooser

=====

Note that some of the hex numbers actually have letters in them, this is not an error!, here is a random selection of stuff from my wcf file to show you that some of them have letters in

0xbb9 3 40 trooa1 Imp
0xbba 3 60 sarga1 Demon
0xbbb 3 48 bossa1 Baron of hell
0xbbc 3 40 possa1 Former human
0xbbd 3 62 heada1 Cacodemon
0xbbe 3 32 skula1 Lost soul
0x13a1 9 16 canda0 Point Pusher
0x13a2 9 16 canda0 Point Puller
0x2328 3 40 bfe2c0 Super Imp
0x2329 3 40 bfe2c0 Fire Imp
0x232a 3 40 bfe2c0 Knight
0x232b 3 40 bfe2c0 Wyvern (Flying imp)
0x232c 3 60 bfe2c0 Giant ant
0x232d 3 60 bfe2c0 Nightmare spectre
0x232e 3 40 bfe2c0 Rocket guy
0x232f 3 60 bfe2c0 Ghost
0x2330 3 40 bfe2c0 Spirit

    0X or 0x simply signifies the number to be a hex number
