There's not really much too it.

If you want to load logs from multiple calls, you'll need a log for each 
call.  (You'll need to register your main call with the ARRL, and then 
you can use the certificate you get for that call, to apply for 
additional certificates.)

Export each log into ADIF format, and DX4WIN's job is done!

See https://www.arrl.org/lotw/getstart for step by step instructions on 
how to register and get your first certificate.

You'll only be able to go as far as step 2.  Then you'll have to wait on 
the ARRL to send you a postcard with a password (about a week).  Once 
you get that, you're good to go, and follow the rest of the procedures. 
  Make sure you've got the instructions handy the first time ... after 
you figure it out, it's pretty simple.
