MI-L drawing specific circles

I feel as if I've seen this before but I'm not finding what I'm looking for in the list archives. I'm doing some cluster mapping. I have X,Y coordinates and a radius which defines a circular scanning window for each cluster. Isn't there a tool in MapInfo to draw a circle using X,Y and radius?

A workspace must have failed, preventing MapInfo from undimming the variable. You can solve it by either closing MapInfo and starting a new session, or by opening the MapBasic window and typing this following by hitting the Enter button: Undim uniquestringname HTH, Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS
