Error when trying to run a macro.

[stigmata]

I get the following message when i try to run a macro...
In Red...."Failed to parse /if command. Expected () around conditions.
In White..."follow.mac@4 (Main): if n $target (distance) > 60 sendkey down up
In Yellow..."Usage:/if (<conditions>) <command>

Not sure why the macro isnt working properly. I just pasted it into a text document and saved it as follow.mac and created it in the Release folder. I have tried to simply open the old macros that came with mq2 by double clicking and I get another error and they wont open to view. And when i right click in the release folder and select to create a new macroquest macro i get "Problem creating object. The system cannot find the file specified."
Any help is appreciated guys. :).
