Did you see this?

Thanks, I figured it was in some config file somewheres.
That pdf file is the AVR068 appnote I mentioned last time.
Why do you want to know this?
I have some XBee modules and want to experiment with wireless downloading.
NOTE - I have read the various tutorials on this from Adafruit, Sparkfun, etc,
but they only say how to setup XBee for their own particular breakout boards,
and NOT what the protocol actually is.
The problem is that XBees have a limited size holding buffer, so there can potentially
be a problem if the transmit block sizes are too long. I realize the guys mentioned
are able to do it, but I want to understand what's really going on.
This page says that the arduino bootloader implements stk500 about halfway down:
Notes on the STK500 Serial Bootloader - SparkFun Electronics
You've said that it's clear it doesn't, but you haven't said why. It doesn't implement everything, but the protocol for what it does implement do work.
As I mentioned, from looking at the actual bootloader code. I edited out the setup
code, but the forever loop clearly doesn't look for STK500 packet headers, only
for the individual codes, eg STK_GET_PARAMETER, etc.

But pretty soon, I've probably just have to go ahead and do it, and
