This sounds quite a bit like what my kiosk-style app does. The user
is able to navigate amongst 'screens' and only interact with one at a
time. Clicking on 'buttons' often take users to a different screen.
Anyhow, you could set up a single window and dynamically load up your
nibs (one for each 'step' in the process) and swap out the window's
content view. The nib owner can be the particular controller that
will work with a specific step.
For bonus points, add in some nice view transitions when going to the
next step.
