I'm not Andrew, but I have some insight into this one. ;) '/operserv 
raw' does one thing and one thing only, and that's send the rest of the 
line to the server services is connected to. That might be why the help 
for the raw command is phrased the way it is:

-OperServ- Sends a string of text directly to the server to which
-OperServ- Services is connected.  This command has a very limited
-OperServ- range of uses, and can wreak havoc on a network if used
-OperServ- improperly.  DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND unless you are
-OperServ- absolutely certain you know what you are doing!
