You should use "cat" instead of "more". Your "more" seems to write to the 
display instead to STDOUT, thus fwdoc_to_html.py does not get any input, 
resulting in an empty output due to empty input.

Please try:

	cat policy.fwdoc \
		| /home/python25/bin/python fwdoc_to_html.py \
		> policy.htm


Bye

Volker
