OK, I figured it out and the second responce is completely
correct, ">" == ">". I bought a Cert Book, "Complete Java
Certification" by Sybex and the review exams on the CD have some
questions like the examples  below. Maybe you are right and the CD is
improperly importing the html text string into the Java Applet of the
test simulator, but it was confusing the hell out of me until about 5
minutes after I posted this. Then I figured out they were one for
one substitutions.

Thank you all for your responces and I'm sorry to have wasted your
time with this.
