My programming experience began before the advent of Object Oriented
Programming so the concepts are vague to me. It would help if
someone could sketch out how OOP would enter into some of tasks
I have done.

I have written my own text editor, the general structure is:

Initialize stuff
read in any starting text

while(1)
	display text
	accept user command
	process user command

If one were to use OOP concepts and start writing a new text
editor, how would objects change this picture?

Similarly, a program such as Mathematica would look like

Initialize stuff
Read program
Read data

while program
	interpret line
	process data

In this case steps in the program would include various operations
on the data. Not unlike the editor case.


Simpler programs, such as filters look like:

read stream
filter stream
output filtered stream

How do OOP concepts come into such program design.

Thanks for any help.
