I'm programming a windows in lua, and I'm wondering if I can Run the dj program right from in it?

Actually, that's wrong, you can't call the shell api from an api.
You can use the disk api, like the dj program does. Check the source of the dj program to see how to do it: .minecraft/mods/ComputerCraft/lua/programs/dj
