And if you don't want to install Chinny's dodgy plugin... ;-)
 
Go into File -> Keyboard Mapping and under the XSI group you will find a "Perspective View" command you can bind to any key you want.
 
There are also commands in there for Left/Right/Top/Bottom View, Isometric View and even a Scene Camera View which cycles through the scene cameras.
 
You can pretty much do anything you want to the view cameras in scripting and the commands above (which can be found in uixsiscripts.vbs under the XSI installation) use the lower level commands Chinny is referring to below.
 
Cheers!

As a quick start - you can right click on the icon buttons in the bottom left of the default layout.  These control the viewports.
 
Later you can look in the docs for:
 
GetFocusedViewport
GetViewCamera
 
and even
 
Get Chinny's Plugin :-)
Which has its own Viewport API as well as viewport switching commands which are even easier to use

Heya list peoples
 
Is there a way in script to switch a viewport from Camera to User?
 
Cheers!
