Mark,
If you had infinite readings on those that you marked 'XX', then they
too are OK.
Note the '>' symbol before the number - it means 'greater than', and
infinity is greater than 100k ohms.
The readings listed have to cover all meters and circumstances. An
ohmmeter on a high resistance scale may respond to just your fingers
across the probes, so it would be counterproductive to write a reading
of 'infinity' in the manual - while '>100k' will cover most all meter
situations while still revealing a short somewhere.
73,
