Hmmm. There should be an arrow after the word RUN for F2. Your screenshot shows a question mark, which implies an unknown character. GWBasic is a fairly simple DOS program. If that is an English version of GWBasic, perhaps the function key hints do not display properly under German Windows due to differences in the character sets?
The function keys should work. Does "LIST " appear when you press F1, and does F2 run your Basic program?
Try F3, which should autotype LOAD".
If everything else works, and you know which keys to use, then that line is not so important.
OR... if you are comfortable using a hex editor, you could change the Carriage Return (hex value 0D) after RUN to a space (hex value 20) and see if more of the line appears.

(FYI I used Dav's XE binary file editor for this screenshot: https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/showthread.php?tid=152, but any decent hex editor can get the job done.)
