♠Axx ♥Axx ♦J10x ♣KQ10x
You open 1NT. Your agreement (not allowed to change it) is that a 1NT opening shows anything from a 14-HCP hand with five controls (minimum) to a 17-HCP hand with no five-card suit and less than five controls (maximum).
LHO overcalls 3♠ favorable.
Partner doubles, which shows stuff. Values with no clear direction.
Sit or bid? If bid, what?

"values w/ no clear direction." sounds like 3-♥, no ♠ stop, and GF values.
What would pd do w/ 55 in the minors and GF?
Especially if this bid exists and pd did not use it, 3N looks right.

3NT. Should have possibilities. Converting isn't attractive at any form of scoring.
Kind regards,

Pass, but I feel uncomfortable with the meaning of the double and it quite possible that some knowledge about my p's doubling tendencies would make me bid 3N. I realize that a more stringent definition of the double would leave many hands unbiddable, but I still prefer some clarification.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

Pard has no clear direction, eh?
Well, I got no clear direction either, so I pass
I'm assuming pard knows what he's doing (else 3NT=obvious..lol). But then again, to play take-out dbls after 1NT already shows pard has a least a bit of a clue..

3NT. Not close to any other call IMO
