Sure.  I have the BASIC program. As I said it lists a simple help menu
and asks:  "350 INPUT"LOAD OR COPY (L)/C";A$"
If I type "L" it goes to:
370 CLEAR 200,MX
380 ML=763:'LOAD + EXEC
390 SP=PEEK(27)*256+PEEK(28)-ML
400 EXEC SP
410 END

I assume it expects to load a machine language program of some sort
from the tape. and then EXEC it.  It does not.  It nakes  no attempt
to read the tape and simply returns to the "OK" prompt.
