I'm not sure why you would have expected that,
since I've never heard "normalized" defined by anyone
with respect to what is *in* a window. But you could
use the "normalized" coordinates of the plot axis
endpoints to position text. Here is an example:

PRO Test
!P.Multi=[0, 3, 2]
FOR j=0,5 DO BEGIN
Plot, Findgen(11)
XYOUTS, !X.Window[0] + 0.2 * (!X.Window[1]-!X.Window[0]), $
!Y.Window[1] - 0.2 * (!Y.Window[1]-!Y.Window[0]), $
'This is text', /Normal
ENDFOR
!P.Multi=0
END

Cheers,

David
