Exact Airbus datalink procedures

Can anyone describe to me the exact process of how one would request start-up clearance from somewhere like LHR in an A320 using ATSU/ACARS. I'm absolutely gobsmacked that you can do this, but have absolutely no idea how it works.

Which page of the FMGS would you use? Is there an option merely to type any message you want?

Step-by-step would be great - i'm absolutely fascinated by this little system.

The more I learn about the 'bus, the better I think this wonderful aircraft is.
