Can you give us a clue on what the 'load of writing' looks like? A screenshot maybe?
I haven't booted up Newton in about... 2-3 years now, so I don't remember what it looks like, but I remember it looking like a piece of software! It had a preview window in the middle and the controls round the edge... Hmm...
Maybe someone who uses it more will be a bit more help! Like I said, a screenshot would be very helpful.
