The > is the default UNIX secondary prompt (held in the $PS2 environment variable, so you can change it for the current logon session with PS2="anythingyoulike ") and shows that the last command line was incomplete, often because of unclosed quotes
e.g.
Code:
$ print "hello
> world"
$

or you are entering a multi-line command
Code:
$ for a in x y
> do
> print $a
> done
x
y
$

To get back to normal finish the command or terminate it (control-c)

cheers

NAME

       malsym - compile a Malaga symbol file

SYNOPSIS

       malsym symbol-file

       malsym extended-symbol-file -use symbol-file

DESCRIPTION

       Malaga  is a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism.  Malaga grammars can be
       used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis.

       The program malsym compiles a Malaga symbol file. Give it the symbol file (suffix .sym or .esym) that is to be translated as  argument.	If
       an extended-symbol-file (suffix .esym) is to be compiled, you must add the option -use.

       See info Malaga for details.

OPTIONS

       -h[elp]
	      Print a help text about malsym's command line arguments and exit.

       -u[se] symbol-file
	      Use the already compiled symbol-file as the base symbol file when compiling an extended symbol file.

       -v[ersion]
	      Print malsym's version number and exit.

AUTHORS

       Malaga  has  been developed by Bjoern Beutel.  Numerous other people distributed to it.	This manpage was originally written for the Debian
