###  set raw-files <ON/OFF>
   specifies whether to provide a 'screen' between users and files
   in the file area.  if this is on, the file area will deal with
   the files directly, as they are found in their directories, and
   will not store file descriptions, etc.  if this is off, the file
   area will create a hidden file in each directory, where it will
   store file descriptions and other info.  the benefit of raw-files
   is that you will not have to 'import' files in a pre-existing
   file area.  the downside is that you will not be able to use
   file descriptions, or track who uploaded what file, and how many
   times it has been downloaded.  if raw-files is on, the file area
   commands 'hide', 'import', and 'desc' are disabled.
