There is a book called _Learn C++ Today_ by Martin L. Rinehart that teaches
C++ by working on a project -- the project is a text editor like the one you
describe but a bit more elaborate.

The book isn't really my style, and if you want it, contact me by email.  If
you pay the postage I'll send it to you.
