MySQL: How to import a sql dump.. inside mysql command line?

I often keep a shell open to a remote server where I'm spending a lot of time in mysql. Exiting mysql and logging back in seems like a pain I shouldn't have to deal with if I just want to run a sql file.

When I'm running MySql from the command line, how can I run a dump file?

Right now, I'm using the same approach outlined in this post.
