Hi - I want to use the seed from my onions to plant for the next round. How should I do this?

Leave your best/biggest onion(s) to go to seed. It may take a while, but it's worth it to have all the extra seed. My friend did this but wasn't able to harvest the seed when it was ready - she now has lots of onions popping up around the original onion. Best excuse for less effort! ;)
