It's hard to know where to start. IMTS seems to be a custom client interface to MUDs, correct me if I'm wrong. According to its page on SourceForge it is indeed written in C.
It is great that you want to learn to program, programming is fun and rewarding.
My advice to you, or to anyone else, however is that trying to modify a MUD client or server is not the best place to start, if you are just learning programming, let alone C.
You are much better off getting to know the basics, loops, variables, assignments, if tests, storing data in things like tables or arrays, and so on. If you learn C you pretty soon have to look at pointers, which are complex for a beginner, which is why I recommended Lua.

I've got once C/C++ book from Borders that bascially has you type in code, then explain it. Problem is that I don't explain how it works once I get halfway into Chapter 1.
What can I say?
- Find a different book that explains it better.
- Get a friend to help explain the examples to you. Often a "real" person explains better to a book, as you can explain what you don't understand.
- Take a programming course, at school, or adult-education, depending on your age.
- Look for "how to program in C" web sites. There must be hundreds of them.

Has anyone had this problem, or know how to help?
This question is so general it is impossible to answer. We all have had problems in the past, sure.
If you post a specific example (of code), and ask a specific question, I am sure someone will try to help.
