Question Best way to fill transmission?

I'm about to change the trans. fluid including the torque converter.
Can anyone give me any ideas as to the best way to refill the entire system including the torque converter?
I'm just not sure how the fluid gets back in to the converter.
Thanks all

trans

it will go back in the converter on its own, what i do when i service a customers car is this. i drain the pan, then drain the torque converter, remove the pan change the gasket and filter, install the pan, when i lower the car i initially add 3 quarts of atf then i start the car, while it is running i add the remaining quarts, during this time the converter is filled.
