If each player has a separate file, and each file contains a character in separate directories of the file, then you could get a list of characters like so:

proc/SavedCharacters(savefile/S)
  var/nm
  S.cd = "/"
  for(var/d in S.dir)
    /*
        Usually characters are saved like so:

        Bob = object(".0")
          .0
            type = /mob
            ... etc.
     */
    // change to character dir
    S.cd = d
    // change to the .0 dir (or what have you)
    S.cd = S.dir[1]
    // now we have access to the mob's data
    S["name"] >> nm
    if(!.) . = list()
    . += nm

In response to Lummox JR
this is a snippet:

mob
    Login()
        var/login = {"
            <style>
                BODY {background:#000000;color:white;}
                .:link {text-decoration: none; color: silver;}
            </style>
            <a href=?Simple><center>Create New Character</a></center>
            <a href=?quit><center>Leave Game</a></center>
            "}
        usr << browse(login,"Window=William Tuner,size=350x200;titlebar=0")




client
    Topic(href)
        if(href == "Simple")
            usr << browse(null,"Window=William Tuner")
            var/oname = input("What is your name?","[world.name]") as text
            usr.name = oname
        if(href == "quit")
            del usr
