How to change PS1 in zsh?

Question

zsh

echo $PS1 prints what you want. But if I enter export PS1="anytext> " then nothing works. Look here:

tolik@LapTop ~ % PS1="asd"
tolik@LapTop ~ % export PS1="asd" 
tolik@LapTop ~ % echo $PS1
%K{blue}%[email protected]%m%k %B%F{cyan}%(4~|...|)%3~%F{white} %# %b%f%k

I understand that PS1 is done a little differently in this shell, but even without any "special" characters, nothing works. Help
