If you were to buy a put, you would enter an order to buy and it would be 'opening' a position. If you later sold that same put, you would enter a sell order and it would be 'closing' a position. To 'sell' a put as you are asking about, you simply enter an order to sell a put and it is 'opening' a position. You are paid the net amount for the put. If the put is then exercised, you have to fork over the strike price and you own the stock, keeping the put premium. It is just another way to pick up stock at something under the market price as of the time you enter the order. Not quite as flexible as limit orders, but maybe more profitable.
