Here it is in its entirety.

class MapEntry(Dialog):
    def __init__(self, parent, data):
       self.data = data
       Dialog.__init__(self, parent, title="History Editor")

    def body(self, parent):
       tk.Label(parent,
                text="Map: %s" % self.data[0]).grid(row=0, sticky="W")
       tk.Label(parent, text="Publisher: ").grid(row=1, sticky="W")
       self.ePub = tk.Entry(parent)
       self.ePub.insert(tk.END, self.data[1].strip() + ' '
                               +self.data[2].strip()) # initial & name
       self.ePub.grid(row=1, column=1)
       tk.Label(parent, text="Date Out: ").grid(row=2, sticky="W")
       self.eDO = tk.Entry(parent)
       self.eDO.insert(tk.END,  self.data[3].strip())
       self.eDO.grid(row=2, column=1)
       tk.Label(parent, text="Date In: ").grid(row=3, sticky="W")
       self.eDI = tk.Entry(parent)
       self.eDI.insert(tk.END, self.data[4].strip())
       self.eDI.grid(row=3, column=1)
       return self.ePub

    def apply(self):
       self.result = (self.data[0],self.ePub.get(),
                      self.eDO.get(),self.eDI.get())

One thing to add is that I'm using tix, not standard Tk widgets,
but I don't think that should affect anything...
