Using Drush without typing drush every time This might be a dumb question and is probably more of a general question for using the command line, but how can I create a command setting where drush is set in the current terminal session. I already have the correct path set where I don't have to type the full path to drush every time, but I'd like to be able to open the terminal up with drush set in the session until I exit the terminal.

For instance instead of opening up terminal and having to type drush everytime:

$ drush dl ctools

$ drush en ctools

$ drush .... (everything else that you want to do)

I can open up the terminal where drush is already set, something like this where drush  becomes the user and I don't have to type it:

drush$ dl ctools, pathauto, ...
drush$ en ctools
This functionality was added in 2010 and removed in 2012. "By the book" way is to use bash with bash completion and optionally bash aliases. Or you can wrap it into a simple php / bash / c program that will automatically prepend drush -l $yoursitename to everything you write and execute the result, and use that as your small simple shell. But you would give up bash completion then.
