How about this nice picture auction:

2D - 3C
3H - 3S
4C - 4H
5D - 5NT
6D (need help for GS) - 7H

1) i'd say 2♦ is not forcing, 3♦ would be, 3♥ can be passed but is highly invitational

2) 3♠ usually would show 17, 18 points

3) no, but in practice it'd be hard to pass

4) i don't know :P ... after 3♦ it looks like 4♥ has to be bid, same after 3♥, tho i guess you could go straight to rkc...

I think 5H is wrong, he should respond 5NT, showing two key cards and no club.

EXACTLY my thought! 5NT or 6♣, whatever your agreement is of o/e keycards is. Partner will always know you have a void ♣...

1 ) 2♦ is not forcing, 3♥ is showing nice hand but still not forcing. With this hand I think you have to bid 3♦ you have fit for pd's suit, your ♥ suit is a 1 loser suit, and you have a void in a unbid suit.

2 ) 3♠ is just showing 3 card support, pd's 3♣ is 4th SF.

3 ) No, but very very strongly invites.

4 ) After 3 ♥ North can bid 4NT as RKCB, South bidding 5 NT showing 2 aces and a void, which can't be in ♠. North should be able to bid 7♥ now, where can pd have his points, he must have K of ♠. But is not easy, but 7 ♥ is saver contract then 7♠
