Looking for a mel script to ISOLATE Select

Hey there I'm looking for some to write a tiny script for me so I can assgin it to my marking menus to quickly isolate the selected object in the current view I'm getting tired of goign up to Show / Isolate Select everytime I want to isolate an object. I tried copying the code that comes up when I actually do do that but I get into trouble when I'm using two view points and I isolate one view point switch over and do the other one so please help me out thanks
