I'm used to your definition of modal (which I call application-modal). There's also system-modal (e.g., a login dialog) which normal applications should never use. And for me your normal is what I call modeless.
I think the terminology - at least the term "non-modal" comes from MS, I'm not sure, but I do find it somewhat unhelpful. In this case I use a modal dialog for the application's about box (which is traditional), and a modeless dialog for the application's help window, so that the user can still interact with the main application while seeing the help text.
OK - and your "modeless" is my "normal" I think? FWIW, I often make a "help" window as "non-modal" so that it will stay floating over the parent, but not block input to it, rather than "normal" here.
