Hello,

In my opinion, diffciculty will depends on how the original code is
written.
If you have a good separation between the text editor's function and and
the console interface (wich can be seen as a kind ok GUI), you should
only have to port the interface between function and UI. If not, a code
reading will be the longest work...
(Hope I'm understable...)
