Chris- This sounds like a piece of grit has gotten under the case and is
causing the screen to believe it is being "touched" when it is not. To
clean under the case, cut an old NuShield to about one half inch wide and
three inches long. Slide this under the case and use it to push out any
grit by moving it around all the sides of the case and pushing out any
dirt that may be there. Then, put back in the NuShield you have on the
Newton to protect it from any more grit.
