No, I need degrees:minutes.decmimal minutes For eg: 36.979 in decimal degrees would be 36:58:44 in DMS. What I need is
36:58.740 deg.min.decimal minutes Mapinfo does not have this as an option. If I could get at the cursor location lat/lon in degree.decimal I could readily convert this and display.

This feature was introduced in a newer version of MI Pro, so maybe it would be time to upgrade ;-) You can do what was requested using callbacks and I have seen it done, but it's not very easy and will require programming in fore instance Delphi as well.

True, except DMS was only introduced in 5.0 or 5.5 - version 4.5 users have to put up with decimal degrees only.
