I recently committed exec/load/filedir.js to the CVS, which will take care of
this for you.

Create an instance of FileDir like so:

  var fd = new FileDir(file_area.dir["dirname"]);

Access the file list like so (or however you prefer):

  for(var f = 0; f < fd.files.length; f++) {
    // Each element is an instance of DirFile
    // This will show you what properties are available
    write(JSON.stringify(fd.files[f]));
  }

This is read-only for now.  I may add in some options to edit details / move /
copy / delete files at some point, or not.

There's also a lightbar file lister at exec/load/filearea-lb.js which does the
basics (browsing, upload, download, batch tagging & downloads), and has a few
simple customization options near the top of the script.  (Or just use FileDir
to make your own lister.)
