Will 4NT imply hearts, or any two suits?

Well I would never pass 3♠ with 6-5 in the minors.
So I'm happy to abstain :-)

our table went:
p=p=1h=2c
3s=?
We do not play weak 2D.
Thought of bidding 4s now but instead followed Bergen rule of not bidding slam after a one level opening and just bid 5c.

Well, if you wanted to bid 4NT before, why don't you do it now that you know pard has cards?

Because:
1: I can't have the hand I have (I would have overcalled before)
2: They have already found they have a spade fit after I let them bid 4♠ in comfort
3: Because my pd and I get quite irritated when you pass initially and discover you have a two suiter later

just because partner has lots of master points doesn't mean he's a great player.
And why should double be penalties?

Because 4NT is available as a takeout bid.

If partner's good, I'd assume double is takeout.
Anyhow I bid 4NT now.
