How do you create SNIPPITS ? I keep losing them

Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Here is the steps I'm doing and I'm sure after somebody tells me what I'm doing wrong I'll go 'that was obvious'........... :}

I'm using WDSC 7.0.

I enabled the snippets view via show view, other, general and selecting snippits

From the 'snippits' I right click for customize

In Customize Palette I select New Category
Which I named RPG and left the defaults checked.
Open Drawer at start-up and always show
Then after creating the category I right click on my 'RPG' and within Customize Palette I select 'New Item'
Then I name the item lets say 'Example' and just a little below to the right of where it says 'Variables' I click on 'New'
Then I click on 'Insert Variable PlaceHolder'
Then I copy some source.

My problem is I have my snippit category called RPG and everything is great but for some reason I can't figure out and darned if I know how its happening I may get out of my current work space and then go back to it or reboot my PC I lose my RPG snippit. I can't find it. Other times I'll do what I think is the same thing and the snippit is still there.



Thanks
