Thanks Bill,

I can import some GML data into MapInfo, but it won't work for OS ITN
data.
Not sure why.

GML stands for Geographic Markup Language. It's actually a geographic
implementation of the XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. And XML
is simply a way to structure information using bracketed tags in a plain
text format. You can learn all about it at http://www.w3.org/XML/.

XML is coming on strong, too. You'll be seeing a lot more of it in the 
future.
