I always took it that Spock had already created the little program he needed to do the job (on the science console's computer) and that the new code was now running, and reprogramming the ship's main computer (as he spoke) to do what was needed.

This is what I always figured as well. When I do something on the computer, I get the app going, and then I tell whomever is with me "I'm running a system diagnostic before we do anything else" or whatever is pertinent to the situation.
