Arcs have a multitude of meanings in GIS and don't come up very often when talking 
about 
MapInfo object geometry. Do you want to turn your regions into polylines (representing 
just the 
perimeter of the regions) or expand each region into a set of individual line segments 
(from node to 
node), perhaps with the attribute data copied for each segment?
