And this quoted from the help file of my PC bridge game seems to agree with
the above:
"Bonus points are also awarded for certain feats and fortuitous events.
If a player holds four honors in the trump suit (i.e., four out of
A-K-Q-J-T), that team receives an honors bonus of 100 points. If a
player holds all five trump honors, the team receives 150 points. And
if a player holds all four aces in a notrump contract, the team receives
150 points. In all cases, it does not matter which side is the
declaring team, and honors bonuses are not affected by doubles and
redoubles."
