Ok, I just did:
DEFINE BAR 8 OF _MSM_SYSTM PROMPT "\-"
DEFINE BAR 9 OF _MSM_SYSTM PROMPT "FoxTools Help"

ON SELECTION BAR 9 OF _MSM_SYSTM do home()+'ToolHelp.prg'
BTW, I found "undocumented" feature of Reduce() function: it can be used with one parameter only and it reduces spaces by default :).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
