I use the following macro to start a new appendix.

.nr aP 0
.af aP I
.de AP
.nr aP +1
.nr p 1 1
.PH "''- \\\\\\\\nP -''"
.SK
.PH "''- \\\\\\\\nP -'\\fRAppendix \\n(aP \- \\\\\\\\n+p\\fP'"
.tl ''\\fBAppendix \\n(aP \- \\$1\\fP''
.am >C
.)T 1 0 "" "Appendix \\n(aP \- \\$1" \\nP
\\..
.sp 2
..

I use it as follows:

.aP "Appendix title"

The first page of the appendix looks like:

		- 14 -		Appendix I - 1
		
	Appendix I - Appendix title

...

The next page looks like:

		- 15 -		Appendix I - 2

...

What shows up in the table of contents is

...
9. Conclusions . . . . . . . . . 13
Appendix I - Appendix title  . . 14

I prefer the above numbering scheme to the one proposed in the base
note since it gives some notion of the relative position of the
various appendices.  I'm sure that appendix A starts at page A-1, but
that doesn't give me much of a clue as to where to find it relative
to the other appendices, nor does it give a hint as to the size of
appendix A.

If, however, you still want to have it come out at A-1 (or in my
case I-1), you need to use the following macro definition:

.nr aP 0
.af aP A
.de AP
.nr aP +1
.nr p 1 1
.PH "''- \\\\\\\\nP -''"
.SK
.PH "''- \\\\\\\\nP -'\\fRAppendix \\n(aP \- \\\\\\\\n+p\\fP'"
.tl ''\\fBAppendix \\n(aP \- \\$1\\fP''
.am >C
.)T 1 0 "" "Appendix \\n(aP \- \\$1" \\n(aP-1
\\..
.sp 2
..

I'm pretty sure that this will work.  This leaves the sequential
page numbering on the pages.  Change the .PH lines to remove that
if you don't want it.
