Help window and Modal Dialogs

Subject: Help window and Modal Dialogs

I have an app that, at times, gets locked into a modal window. One of the windows, for instance, sets up a CD burn and we don't want them doing anything else in the app at the same time so we make the setup window modal. There are lots of options, though, and we want to offer help. When the window is modal the help window pops up behind it and it's stuck there.

Is there some way to push the help out in front ? Is there a strategy to suspend the modal session but still not allow a user to do anything with any window but help or the one our user clicked help from ?
