Comment 5 for bug 1110773

I had a good dig through the man pages and I couldn't see anything. From inside screen you can get the active window but not from outside (and it indicates it by number which can be changed so doesn't necessarily correspond to order).

I did come up with a workaround using

export PPWD=$PWD; screen

as the command

then sticking

if [ $PPWD ]; then
    cd $PPWD
fi

into my .zshrc file, which then puts me in same directory as the terminator window I spit off from.
