If you want to launch something from an icon, just about any command can be done that way. Since this is a commandline program, it will need to be run in a terminal. If you are in X this would be an X terminal (aterm in DSL 1.3, rxvt prior to 1.3).
The command could be something like this:
aterm -e bdc --update
or if it needs root:
aterm -e sudo bdc --update
As far as an interface, that would require a bit of scripting, unless someone has built one already. Lua FLTK is a perfect way to build simple interfaces in DSL, but it requires Lua scripting knowledge...it is not a UI generator. Most of the DSL-specific gui tools in DSL are LuaFLTK scripts.
One thing you might notice is the behavior of term applications depending on how they are started. If you open a shell and then launch a program, the shell will stay open. If you open a shell with a program as an argument (aterm -e something), the shell will immediately close after the program finishes. This might actually be what is happpening from emelfm, but i couldn't say for sure unless I saw what was happening.
