Indeed, I see I shall add a "how do i create a new snippet/template?" section in the help.

I don't know the filetype your snippet is for, let's say it's "foobar".

Create a "template/foobar" directory under the vimfiles/ directory in your $HOME (%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% in windows).

In your $HOME/vimfiles/template/foobar, create a file named openr.template, it should get filed with default mu-template boilerplate settings.

Then, add what you want in your template file. If you keep the default

VimL: let s:marker_open = '<+'
VimL: let s:marker_close = '+>'

Your can define placeholders with "<++>", or "<+placeholdername+>". It's even possible to accept parameters that can be injected from other snippets, or programmatically. (see :h s:Params()).

So, I guess, your template would look like:

VimL: let s:marker_open = '<+'
VimL: let s:marker_close = '+>'
OPENR, <+unit+>, <+filename+>, /GET_LUN

<+cursor here+>

CLOSE, <+unit+>
FREE_LUN, <+unit+>



NB: I've simplified the explanation regarding the exact directory where you could put your new template files. see :h MuT-paths-override
