There are two ways you can do it:
1. Open the first "contour" layer. Then open another "contour" layer, which
MapInfo will offer to name "contour_2", which is fine. Then use the "Append
rows to table" function in the "Tables" menu to append "contour_2" to
"contour". Do this for each of the 16 tiles and when you are done "contour"
will have all the tiles. You should probably the save it with a different
name.
2. Check out the "seamless table manager" tool. It will allow you to open
all 16 contour layers and then create a new layer that groups them all
together. They will still be 16 seperate tiles, but they will act like a
single layer in MapInfo. It is a very powerful tool. The main limitation
that I've come up against is that you can't query a seamless layer very
well.
