act.wizard.c:do_set():
  /* save the character if a change was made */
  if (retval) {
    if (!is_file && !IS_NPC(vict))
      save_char(vict, NOWHERE);
    if (is_file) {
      char_to_store(vict, &tmp_store);
      fseek(player_fl, (player_i) * sizeof(struct char_file_u), SEEK_SET);
      fwrite(&tmp_store, sizeof(struct char_file_u), 1, player_fl);
      send_to_char("Saved in file.\r\n", ch);
    }
  }

If using 'set file', it doesn't call 'save_char'.
