David,
Here's an Excel spreadsheet which will convert DMS to Dec Degrees and
Vice-Versa. You may be able to use it to formulate a mapbasic tool.

Subject: MI conversing DMS to decimal degrees
Is there a way to get MapInfo to read lat/long points reported in
degrees/minutes/seconds? Or must I convert the DMS points to decimal
degrees? If I must convert, can anyone recommend a tool? Thanks.
