Additional observations.

peter@joule:/home/peter$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:.
peter@joule:/home/peter$ env | grep PATH

PATH exists, is non-empty and env doesn't report it.

peter@joule:/home/peter$ echo $HOME

HOME exists and is empty.

peter@joule:/home/peter$ echo $DISPLAY

DISPLAY exists and is empty.

Yes, this console works better when HOME and DISPLAY are defined 
after starting it.
export HOME="/home/peter/"
export DISPLAY=":0"

Thanks for the various replies,        ... P.
