Dennis, I've gone with the convention of RW_n for the following reasons:
1) Some tools (Protel Schematic -> PCB) loose case. Occasionally I'm left thinking what the heck some NOBCLP or whatever signal is, especially bad when the preceding N makes a meaningful word: nAP becomes NAP. 2) I do a fair amount of verilog code along with my PCB designs, and I want my names to be as similar as possible between the designs. In verilog, I use the convention that all signals are lower case with underscore to separate words. In Protel I follow the same convention just with all caps. 3) Lower case and underscore are accepted as parts of a name by most tools. On the other hand, both "*" and "-" are operators in many languages.
