atw: Terminology for wizards

This post isn't directed at Harry Potter's mates. It's about documenting a
Windows procedure that uses what Microsoft calls a 'wizard', in which you
are taken through a series of displays, at each of which you enter
information, then click a Next button to go to the next one. I'm reviewing
some documentation in which the successive displays are referred to as
'screens'. I may be picky, but I really don't like to use 'screen' except to
refer to the piece of hardware in your monitor. I don't think 'window'
sounds quite right, though, in this case - and nor does 'dialog box'. Has
anyone else had to document this kind of stuff?
