ಠ_ಠ

Perhaps the first step would be to use some simple word processor (a text field in a form such as this will do), and use it for a while, until you start getting ideas of what needs to be done.

we're allowed to get help, and what do u mean ?

You have existing applications available to them. Use them to figure out the steps that they do to perform the same action; then instead of bad questions such as "how do I do _everything_?" you can ask more specific questions, such as "Give that I've already selected N characters, how do I update the screen when I add the (N+1)th character to the selection?" (to which the naive answer is -- clear the screen and redraw everything)
