[ADXA] TO Prefix

Regarding TO prefixes.

I understand it as the "TO" prefix being any/all France Overseas 
Territories.  N1NN will only recognize the country of a TO a call when 
it is mapped in the DXCC Country file (maintained by Jim, AD1C).  The 
periodic updates from AD1C are likely driven primarily by new such 
callsigns after assignment.

So if the current file doesn't have TO5M listed and mapped as St Martin, 
the DXCC entry will be wrong.  This is backed up when using the *DX 
Atlas* "*/Resolve Callsign/*" tool.  Typing in JUST a prefix of "TO" 
returns the following, multiple countries:
