The code excerpt is sort of in patch format.

What it means is that you should find the existing lines reading

echo_g "Houston, we have a problem, powering off..."
def_runlevel=0
("Houston" only occurs once in that file, so you can just search for that to find these lines.)

Then you put the new lines (indicated by '+') between them, so that it would read:

echo_g "Houston, we have a problem, powering off..."
sleep 10
poweroff
def_runlevel=0
when you're done.

Edit: Note, the '+' sign is only to indicate which lines are added, it shouldn't be actually put in the file.
