I don't think this is available for older versions (eg, MapInfo 6.5, which I use - and will never upgrade).

Select the line that you would like to copy / offset. 2.) Right Click on the Map > Edit Objects > Offset The tool allows you to move the object by a set number of degrees, create a copy of the line and redraw it with the offset number of distance units etc etc. Hope this helps.
