   What you need to keep in mind is that a string is an array of characters,
and the name of array variable is treated as a pointer to the first elemnt. 
Once you have a pointer to the first 'm' in a string, all you have to do is
subtract to get the index.

#include 
#include 


main()
{
   char string[80], *p;

    puts("Enter a string");
   fflush(stdin); /* flush the output buffer */

    gets(buffer);

    p = Index(string, m);

    printf("The first 'm' occurs in location %d\n", p - string);
}

   If you'll notice, if the string starts with an 'm', this program will print
0 (all C arrays start at 0.)
