That wouldn't be a bad idea.  I think she should start off installing things
the way most in here advised.  Once she gets everything running, she should
grab a copy of:

 CFGINFO7.ZIP   OS/2 Config.sys Optimizer! Sysop Recommended! (188K)

That should get her somewhat familar with how to tune up her config.sys file.
Then, she should fool around for a few weeks, learning how to set up DOS
sessions, how to get her windows 3x running if she wants that, then she will
have a good grasp of things w/o much need for a book.  I'd guess she would
come up with enough questions for the users in here to keep her and us busy
for a good while.  

I guess right now she needs to find out exactly why her system is locking up,
or losing the mouse, or whatever is going on.  If it's her old BIOS, then
she's out of luck for now, but she can get 486 mother boards for next to
nothing today.  A guy around here was selling 486's for $60 with 16 megs ram
and VGA monitors.  Thats not much for a complete system.  Not much reason to
be running a 386 with a 1990 BIOS, thats for sure.  Thats like 2 cartons of
smokes...
