Andy,

No TXD is TXD all the way through the path. Yes, the DTE TXD will have the drivers, and the DCE will have receivers, but it is TXD from end to end. RXD is the other way around because the DCE drives that line.
Trsnsmit and receive are named with respect to the DTE.

One end's TXD is the other end's RXD. That's obvious to those who have used 
RS-233 for a while but if someone needs to ask then it may not be obvious. Find 
the TXD pin on the source and connect it the RXD pin on the destination. 
Sometimes it's easier to look with a scope than to try to understand the 
documentation.
