I'm trying to get a lot of backlinks to some of the INTERNAL pages on my website, but I'm not sure what URL I should have people link to so that they all count in PageRank.

For example, I have a subdirectory (www.domain.com/subdir/) that I'd like to get some links to. This directory has an index.htm page that is the default.

Now, if I search google for this page, the URL it links to is www.domain.com/subdir/ WITHOUT the index.htm on the end.

So, does that mean when I get people to link I should have them link to www.domain.com/subdir/ or www.domain.com/subdir/index.htm and does it even make a difference in the eyes of the PageRank algorithmn???

Yes.

That way, if you change your index file in the future to index.asp or .php or .wotbloodyever you'll still have the link benefit ;-)
