Can someone point me to a script, or a method, to quickly move the working pivot to a vertex? A simple, select vertex and press button would be ideal.

I made a maxscript to do this type of thing before, it tries to align it smartly based on what subobj you have selected
hopefully thisll do the trick for your case:

That looks like a nice script. It places the pivot at the average of the selection though?
I want to move the pivot to 1 vertex (just as Edit Working Pivot does). It's so I can select multiple vertices and scale them all from the new pivot point.
