Me too, and I couldn't find it either. I did find this in the
Mi_ref.pdf file on the 5.0 CD in the 'Find Command' section:

  Locating Street Intersections
  You also can use the Find command to locate street intersections.
  When you type the name of the object to be found in the second
  Find dialog (enter object name to find), separate the two items
  by a double ampersand (&&). For example, to find the intersection
  of Congress Street and Christie Street, type:
  "Congress Street && Christie Street".

As Bill said, this works for Geocode as well.

The 5.0 User's Guide does hint at the possibility. On page 105 in
the 'Creating Points for Intersections' section it says:

  In MapInfo you can geocode to intersections in your street file
  with the Table>Geocode command, but blah blah blah.

And again, on page 461 in 'Appendix B: Advanced Geocoding' there
is a geocoding result code:

  50(-)  Streets do not intersect.

I couldn't find anything more in the 4.1, 4.0, or 3.0 manual sets.
