Thanks Yann. At this point this ties in rather well with the Hebrew and German 
way of trying to stay 'neutral', essentially its an action that needs done. 
Sounds like a good approach.

In my opinion, you should think "Open file" as a neutral/infinitive/non-speech 
form (like in "to open a file" or "a file opening", or "file must be opened"), 
NOT in a speech form (like in "Mr PC, please open my file"). 

Hope this helps.
