Just use a Table > Update Column

Lets say we have 2 tables: RegionTable, TextTable
Also lets assume that RegionTable has a empty field of type char

>From the menu choose Table > Update Column
    Table to update: RegionTable
    Column to update: Empty Field of type char
    Get Value Fron Table: TextTable
    Join: Where TextTable is within RegionTable
    Calculate: Value
    Of: Expression: ObjectInfo(obj,3)

Or From the menu choose Options > Show MapBasic Window and type the following:
    Add Column "RegionTable" (EmptyCharField) From TextTable Set To
Objectinfo(obj,3) Where Within

Note the above should be entered on one line.
Hit Enter to execute the code.

I hope the above was of help
