Perhaps my first useful script.

  "worker":#grab a worker
    Key("c-f2")+#save location
    Key("f1")+#select idle worker if any
    Key("f2")+#recall location
    Key("c-7")+#assign to throwaway group
    Mouse("left")+#select worker under pointer
    Key("c-7")+#assign to throwaway group
    Key("7")+#select throwaway group
    PlaySound(r"C:\Program Files\VoiceWorks\boop.wav"),

As far as I can tell, Starcraft always moves the view if the idle 
worker being selected is not on the current screen. That is a 
hassle, but at least it allows saving camera locations. So that is 
how the above script operates. If a worker is under the pointer, 
that worker will be selected. If nothing is under the pointer, an
the idle worker will be selected. 

That script (or similar) will be used at the beginning of lots of
other scripts that do something with a worker.
