AFAIK you can't (directly) write/edit geometries in tab based
layer in QGIS. <br>
<br>
However, you can create a new _shape_ layer, do the adding/editing
in this layer and then right-click the layer in the layer manager
and choose the "Save As" menu option. The "save as" dialogue gives
you the possibility to save the (shape) layer as a tab-file. <br>
<br>
Another option is directly to send the shape file to your MapInfo
user. MapInfo can read and use shape files.<br>
