Hi,

." is usually a compiling word and may not work in immediate mode.
As someone else suggested try some simple arithmetic like
2 2 + . and see if it responds with:
4 ok
Then perhaps try
: hi ." Hello, world " ;
to see if it will compile a new word - in this case called hi.
If it responds "ok" then try typing:
hi <return>
and you should get:
Hello world ok

The future was never like this!

That's odd.
Usually ." Hello, world." words on all forths.
