Sometimes it's useful to change the "Home" view for a camera.
This doesn't do that. But it's easy to do that with a bookmark, and then you can use this script to restore that view, preferably w/a hotkey. You can install the script, or here is the code (take it out of the global proc if you are going to paste it directly into a hotkey):
Enjoy.

This script will move the camera in the panel under the mouse to a bookmark with the name: "camNameHome" (The window does not have to be the current window).
It requires the bookmarks to be setup by the user (View>Bookmarks>Edit Bookmarks). I.E. the bookmarks for the default cameras would be named:
topHome, sideHome, frontHome, and perspHome.
Install in user scripts directory.
To assign to a hot key, in the hot key editor, make a new command and assign "pfm_camGoHome();" (no quotes). The "Home" key works great.
It will generate a warning if there is no "camNameHome" in the panel in which it is invoked.

string $curPanel = `getPanel -up`;
string $curCam = `modelPanel -q -cam $curPanel`;
