Is there any way to assign a number to a figure label manually in
LaTeX?  I have a picture on a separate page which I would like to 
refer to in the text using a label such as Figure~\ref{fi:fig}.  
But since it's not a LaTeX figure, I cannot use 
\caption{This Figure \label{fi:fig}}.
So I need a way to assign a number to a caption label and step the caption
label counter.   

thanx
terry
