Well Sanjay I thought I'd answer my own question, just in case others wanted
to know how to do this (a fellow pg in the dept showed me how).

\appendix

\setcounter{equation}{0}
\setcounter{section}{1}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}

\section*{Appendix {\thesection} : ......}


1. This sets the equation counter to label equations as (A.1) etc
2. Note : before each section {new appendix} need to put
        \setcounter{equation}{0}
3. Labels appendicies as Appendix A : .....
4. Just having \section{....} will label them as A ....


Hope this helps.

Sanjay
