Help: Use <variable> consistently in property getter commands

Property-related commands used a mix of <VAR>, <var>, or
<variable> to specify the variable to store the result in. The <VAR>
form is particularly confusing, since being uppercase it looks more
like a keyword. Use <variable> consistently across all the commands
so that the behavior is clear.
