Wayne:  The process is simple.

With your contest opened in Writelog, click on Contest / Cabrillo file. 
Fill out the form with your info.  Click OK.  Save the file wherever you put 
your writelog files.  After you save it you can open it up with any text 
editor (eg notepad).

Go to the web site that has the rules for the contest you entered.  They 
will have a link for the email address to which you need to send your log. 
That's it.
