The only way in MapInfo for cutting a line is:
1) use a region object (drawn for example in the cosmetic layer), which cross
the line at the place you want to split it;
2) make the line table editable;
3) select the line you want to cut;
4) make the line as target (Objects/Set Target)
5) select the region object;
6) execute Objects/Split.

Or maybe you can try MapLogix, a topological map editing utility for MapInfo.
This tool is made to help users to manage topology of MapInfo data and offers
some utilities like the possibility of split a polyline simply by clicking at
the place you want. You can download a demo version at

Hope this helps,
Josée
