     Check the bash manpage under PROMPTING.  The '>' character is not
a special character that requires any special or escape characters.
My prompt is "bob:vc-3:bob>".  This is created by the following in my
.bash_profile. :
PS1='\u:vc-'`ps|cut -c1-9|grep $$|cut -c9`':\W>'
                                               \ literal '>'
