It seems from gnuplot 6.0.0 on the documentation for various terminals is missing.
If there is documentation for a terminal which I don't have installed, that would be ok,
but if I have terminals installed for which I don't get documenation is very unfortunate.
Most of the documentation was still available for gnuplot 5.x

Checked for Windows 10, gnuplot 6.0.0, 6.02 (from gp602-win64-mingw.7z)
