It's an order to a computer? Is this a particularly pedantic computer? If not, I wouldn't worry about it.

Although I'm sure things have changed rather a lot since I did some computer coding in about 1983, I'm pretty sure that's not the kind of wording that would be used in a command to a computer!
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
