				Not sure how much of a hint you would like, but I see a naked pair, a hidden pair (or naked quadruple) and set of locked candidates.  See below for more detail.

				... and then, some way down the line - and if I remember correctly - an XY-wing with R4C3 as pivot.

				Well, I can't believe I missed the naked pair and the hidden pair.  But now I am at this point and cannot continue.  Perhaps it's the heat - that's my excuse.  I don't see the xy wing.  Help again would be appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
Kathy
