Hello,

To do that literally, you need to press $, \, a, l, p, h, a, followed by 
pressing "Enter", not $. After inputting alpha and "Enter", you can 
press another $ to exit the math mode.

(Of course, in math mode, you can just press a followed by pressing 
"Tab" to get an alpha)

If my understanding is correct, you enter the math mode when you press 
the first $, and after pressing \, it comes into kinda command mode. In 
that mode, by pressing "Enter", you confirm what you inputted into a 
real command (before which the command is still under construction) and 
since this command has no parameter, equivalently put, it does not 
receive any argument, you return to the math mode.

Best wishes,

Frank
