From the TeXbook page 23
The ‘
**’ is TEX’s way of asking you for an input file name.
Since you want to use TeX interactively rather than processing a file, you have to let TeX know by saying relax. The error you see comes from the fact that TeX tries to read Abye as a file name, which involves full expansion of bye which is defined as
outerdefbyeparvfillsuperejectend
which immediately chokes on par because that is obviously not a legal part of a file name.
So if instead Abye you say relax Abye it works as expected:
This is TeX, Version 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2019) (preloaded format=tex)
**relax Abye
[1]
Output written on texput.dvi (1 page, 208 bytes).

You can also type only relax at the ** prompt and then supply your commands at the * prompt.
