You can create a shortcut using the "alias" command. For example:

alias run='mcs -out:TreehouseDefense.exe *.cs && mono TreehouseDefense.exe'

Then you would only need to give the commnd "run" to make all that happen.

The console has a command history. You can use up-arrow to scroll through your previous commands.
