"BOLD" printing a variable in PS1 command
I would like to "BOLD" print the hostname in the following statement:
export PS1=$USER"@"$(hostname -s):'$PWD>'
Is there a special character I can put before and after the variable to make it bold or blinking?
Thanks.

Hello:
Any bash PS1 gurus in the house?
I have a custom 2-line prompt and it displays fine, but there is an occasional anomaly.
The backspace key sometimes takes out the 2nd line.

sge_host_aliases
HOST_ALIASES(5) Sun Grid Engine File Formats HOST_ALIASES(5)
NAME
host_aliases - Sun Grid Engine host aliases file format
DESCRIPTION
All Sun Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service provided by the communication library to identify hosts via a unique host-
name. The communication library itself references standard UNIX directory services such as DNS, NIS and /etc/hosts to resolve hostnames.
In rare cases these standard services cannot be setup cleanly and Sun Grid Engine communication daemons running on different hosts are
unable to automatically determine a unique hostname for one or all hosts which can be used on all hosts. In such situations a Sun Grid
Engine host aliases file can be used to provide the communication daemons with a private and consistent hostname resolution database.
The location for the host aliases file is <sge_root>/<cell>/common/host_aliases.
FORMAT
For each host a single line must be provided with a blank, comma or semicolon separated list of hostname aliases. The first alias is
defined to be the unique hostname which will be used by all Sun Grid Engine components using the hostname aliasing service of the communi-
cation library.
