Property trouble

I'm trying to use the property feature to make between session variables but I can't get it to create one properly.

Code:
set_property("test","true");

is not doing anything, but it's not erroring out either.  Now that the KCS file is deceased, does this method still work?

*UPDATE* Why does it seem like everytime I post, I learn something almost immediately afterwards. Ok well it seems to be working to a point right now. It's raising some confusion here about when the prefs_CHARNAME.txt file is updated. Is it when the program is closed? When the focus changes between panes? I can't seem to figure it out.
