I would guess that's mainly because the text doesn't know what kind of 
program is presenting it, so it cannot generally know how "go up one 
level" is actually implemented.  gnuplot.gih is displayed by gnuplot 
itself, and only there does the "just type return" method actually work. 
  Other versions of the documentation are handled by the Windows HELP 
file system, the GNU info system and others, and each has its own method 
of doing this (some may not even have one at all).
