Have enuf trouble remembering my own agreements.....so here is what I would bid with a pick-up pard of decent calibre.

a) 4S
1D with the proviso that while 2NT (11-12 hcp) is my conventional agreement bid with my regular pards, I don't want a D lead if we are in NT and will raise 1M by pard to 2 and convert his 2NT game try to 3NT.
