It sounds to me like your computer is in good working order.

Type the following command after the "OK" prompt:

PRINT "HELLO"

and then hit the [ENTER] key.  It should echo back the word "HELLO".

If instead you type:

10 PRINT "HELLO"

You've actually entered a program, not just a command.  You then need  
to run the program by typing:

RUN

and hitting [ENTER].
