IANAPGPExpert, but this is what it looks like to me:

1) Do pgp -kv to get a list of the keys in your public ring.  Make note of
the key ID of the key you want to publish.

2) Do pgp -kxa [KeyIDFromAbove]  and it will prompt you for that filename.
Use any filename.

3) Go to http://www.us.pgp.net/pgpnet/pks-commands.html#submit in your
browser, and paste the contents of that file into the textarea input.
Submit the page.


One cool thing I found you can do is to look up a key on that server from
the command line:

pgp -kvv "David Kramer <david at thekramers.net>"  http://pgp.dtype.org
