I naturally had to be different :)

I tend to use the case that is used when you invoke it at the command 
line. Typing 'Logview' won't work. I realise that there are different
tags for application and for command, but it seems pretty traditional
in unix docs to avoid capitalising a name if there is no capital when
you type it as a command.

I tend to go with the final slash when it's a directory, because
it distinguishes between files and directories that way.

I always forget this :)
