You've got grains of grit stuck under the edges of your MP's screen and
when you hold it your hands are applying enough pressure for the grains
to press into the screen and look like pen tap.
Run a THIN card around the edges of your Newton screen and clean out the
grit.
You may also have a hardware problem with the screen. If the above
doesn't solve your problem, Apple can repair it.
