My .bash_profile contains
# First prompt is definitely PS1 (PSnumeral-one)

PS1="\u@\h \w "
 case 'id -u' in
        0) PS1="$(PS1)# ";;
        *) PS1="$(PS1)S ";;
 esac

My .bashrc contains:
# same prompt lines from .bash_profile
# note that it is PSnumeral-one not PSlowercaseL

PS1="\u@\h \w "
 case 'id -u' in
        0) PS1="$(PS1)# ";;
        *) PS1="$(PS1)S ";;
 esac

Yet on login I get this error message:
bash: PS1: command not found

and the prompt is S
Why? and how can I fix this?
