Like Sylvain said, but you need to use spaces as well:

lcString = [help helpful whelp]

where you want to remove the exact word "help":

? alltrim(STRTRAN([ ] + lcString + [ ], [ help ], [ ]))

Something more reliable would be the use of GETWORDCOUNT and GETWORDNUM in a loop to parse through and rebuild the string
