You may search web for information about object oriented design.
In short: you hide implementation behind interface.
Example: your editor's engine should get constructed objects (look for 
builder or factory patterns) as an abstract interface.
There should be at least 3 objects and 3 interfaces: one pair for display, 
one for communication with user and one for command processor.

As your engine will use abstract interfaces for this 3 roles and you can (in 
your factory/builder) use various implementations and switch them according 
to situation (text/graphical user interface (or a fake one - for testing)).
