I was once asked to suggest something of this nature.

I think that a Text Editor (if on the IBM-PC, it shouldn't be a line editor
similar to EDLIN) or a simple Database (to let's say manage a persons phone
book or address book).  Both of these should use the concepts of files, strings,various data structures, etc.

Or maybe even a simply spreadsheet.  Programs of this nature gives the student
a chance to try and create something similar to what's on the market.  This way
they have an idea of what the resulting program should do.

I hope this helps.
