In general, I would recommend looking for ways to turn
often-used bits of code into functions that take generic
arguments.  Those functions can then be loaded at startup by
your $HOME/.isisrc file or perhaps loaded on-demand through the
"autoload" feature.

I think the ".source" command does what you want:

.source

 SYNOPSIS
    read slang commands from a file

 USAGE
    .source filename

 DESCRIPTION
    This function is very similar to the .load shortcut except that
    lines from the file are interpreted as though they had been
    typed at the command line -- all command shortcuts are
    available and variables need not be declared before use.

 SEE ALSO
    .load, evalfile
