mob
    proc
        Saveme() // This is the proc that saves the player
            var/savefile/F = new("Save Files/[src.ckey]") // This creates a new file called your key.sav in the file Save
            F["last_x"] << src.x// This stuff saves the players location
            F["last_y"] << src.y
            F["last_z"] << src.z
            Write(F) // This Writes the file
    verb // saving verb
        Save() // verb
            set category = "Client" // Category
            usr.Saveme() // save proc
            usr << "<b>You are saved.</b>"

You are actually saving a whole mob that way. Write(F) doesn't write the savefile. It's really src.Write(F). It writes to the savefile a copy of src (the mob). The reason that x, y, and z are saved seperately like that is because they're temporary variables, and don't get saved automatically.

The savefiles section in the DM Guide explains more if you're curious: http://developer.byond.com/docs/guide/chap12.html
