[OS X TeX] Chapter number suppressed, and skipped?

[Marcelo LaFleur]

It seems that normal behavior for LaTeX is that the command \chapter*{} not
only supresses the chapter number, but also does not change the counter.
Is there a way to have it increment the counter so equations and figures
become automatically adjusted, even if they are under a "*" chapter?


For example:

\chapter*{Appendix}

\section{Appendix 1}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=6in]{rf}
\caption{Reaction Functions}
\end{figure}


Here the caption "Figure x.x" is numbered based on the last \chapter{}
command, ignoring all the \chapter*{} commands, so the figure number is not
correct.

I know that I can manually reset the counter, but I would rather have this
done automatically as my document grows, so I only have to change the style
of the numbering.

Anyway to do this?
