If you mean specifically to input some command to a computer terminal and run that input, I would use either run or execute. Other contexts would call for other verbs. For example, if I were giving orders to someone, I would issue commands (or send, if I were issuing commands remotely via courier or telegram or something) and if I were carrying out my orders, I would execute commands.

Thank you for the interesting comments!
If you could also tell me whether the word combinations
(1) to perform a DOS command
(2) to carry out a DOS command
(3) to issue a Get Coordinates command (it may be a GPS receiver user command or something)
sound ok to you?
Thanks again!
