You can use the Mapping Wizard Tool to load in your text file of latitude and longitude coordinates. Just set the correct datum (usually World WGS84) to overlay them correctly.

This will close all layers except one using a layer name to check what to keep open:

Dim i as Integer
Dim tables as Integer
Dim tableName as String

tables = NumTables()

For i = 0 To tables
    tableName = TableInfo(i,TAB_INFO_NAME)
    '' Check to see if the table is anything but the one we are looking for.
    If Not tableName = "{Your table name to check here}" Then
        Close Table tableName 
    End If
Next
