Hero System Dice Support: Target Successes

I looked here and in the Dice Reference, even in the gritty part, and I can't find what I'm looking for: Hero System uses 3d6 totalled (so a number from 3 to 18) that is then compared to a target number for a success generated by a roll less than or equal to that total.  I've tried a few things and they don't seem to produce that result. First, I tried 3d6<9 (trying to get a total for 3d6, compared to 9, resulting in success if less than/equal to 9). I get 3 successes every time, as it doesn't total. Second, I tried (3d6)<9. It gives me the total (6, 14, 12, 11) but not a sucess response to the <9 part. I realize that this is easy enough to do without it telling me success or not, honestly, but it'd be a nice feature. One of my players mentioned it should work and I tried to figure a way to do it for some Macros, but can't seem to figure a way. I couldn't find anything that indicated a way to create a total before comparing it to the target for success. Did I miss it? If not, is this something that could be added to the poor overburdened to-do list (and way at the back, I realize, as we just had an AWESOME dice server update which I'm very thankful for and realize that means dice are now at the bottom of the list...). Thanks for all y'all's tireless efforts! Kudos!~

Here is how you can get this to work:  /roll {3d6, 0d1}>9 It works by grouping the dice and then comparing each to the success. - Gauss
