John,
There is a CreateLine() function that kind of equals the CreatePoint()
function. But you don't have a visual interface to the CreateLine so you'll
have to live with the MapBasic window.
1. Make the table mappable thru Table Maintenance
2. Open the MapBasic window
3. Enter these lines each followed by hitting the ENTER key
Set CoordSys Table MYTABLE
Update MYTABLE Set OBJ = CreateLine(X1, Y1, X2, Y2)
4. Now you have your line work

Subject: MI-L Import of XLS file with "from & To" Coords
Howdy all,
I use the MapInfo "Create Points" function often when receiving GPS point
data, but have just received some linework data where the Excel data file
contains UTM co-ords with the "from" & "to" coords making up each line ie
(x1,y1,x2,y2).
Is there an automated process within MapInfo to achieve the import of line
data from XLS, CSV etc ?? otherwise all I can think of doing is importing
the (x1,x2) using create points and then the (x2,y2) and re living my
childhood by playing "join the dots"
Cheers with Beers
