Numbering appendices

[Ehud Kaplan]

How do I number appendices?  Lyx numbers them as SECTIONS, and numbers 
APPENDIX 1 as Section N+!, where N is the number of the last section 
(before the appendices start).
I would like to be able to refer to the appendices by their numbers in 
the body of the article (as in: "In Appendix 3 we give...")

Thanks
