That seems unlikely. At turn on, you should see a copyright message and 
then see the OK prompt. I expect you have not accurately described what 
you see.

Type the following: PRINT MEM [ENTER]
Where [ENTER] means the key. What do you see? The number will indicate 
the amount of RAM memory under startup conditions. While memory is 
normally defined as 4096-4K, 8192-8K, 16384-16K, 32768-32K, there is 
always a certain amount of low RAM reserved by Basic so the values you 
see with a tape system will be approximately 8488-16K and 24872-32K.

As another message indicated, there is a difference between a command 
and a program line. Don't preface commands with numbers.
