I finally found it!

The taskbar is a window like any other. Thus:
ToggleTaskBar        PROCEDURE                        ! Declare Procedure

LOC:HIDDEN  BYTE,STATIC
TaskBar   HANDLE
WClass    LPCSTR('Shell_TrayWnd')
WName     LPCSTR('')
CODE

TaskBar = FindWindow(WClass, WName ) !WName)
if LOC:Hidden
    ShowWindow(TaskBar,SW_SHOWNORMAL)
    LOC:Hidden = false
  else
    ShowWIndow(TaskBar,SW_HIDE)
    LOC:HIDDEN = true
  end!if
