no, it would not be insane at all. All other editors but emacs I am used to

I find it interesting to note that in MS VC 6,
File/Open defaulted to the last directory you open a file from,
and MS VC .NET now defaults to the directory of the current file.
As I said, look around, check out Crisp for instance, you would be surprised:
no long keystrokes, much wider use of keys (say astersk on the numeric keypad
and on the main keyboard are naturally assigned to different key codes _
still have to find the way to achieve this with emacs, and I've tried!). You
can write macros in object oriented c-like language, not in this weird lisp
which is a remnant of computing stone age (I know, I know that it is still
used to teach students).
(global-set-key 'kp-multiply 'switch-to-buffer)
C-h k * indicates the internal name for keystrokes
BTW,
in answer to your original question,
you could make the call-progress run
"cd /a/b/c && ./myScript.sh"
It is possible for emacs to record its starting directory,
and add the cd for you.
