Using command line and stdin/stdout with 2.5.1

I read that 2.5 supports stdin/stdout (from http://uwog.net/news/?p=62)

I just downloaded and installed the Windows 2.5.1 version

I've confirmed that the standard

AbiWord --to=txt FastSavedDoc.doc

works, which creates FastSavedDoc.txt

However, when I try to use the stdin/out mechanism according to the examples in
the above web page I get no joy, e.g.

AbiWord --to=txt --to-name=fd://1 fd://0 <FastSavedDoc.doc
AbiWord --to=txt --to-name=x.txt fd://0 <FastSavedDoc.doc
cat FastSavedDoc.doc | AbiWord --to=txt --to-name=fd://1 fd://0

I have Cygwin installed for the last version. Nothing happens and there's no
output. No files are written to the directory.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Antony
