Dice Groups and Drops inside a macro

Hey all, I'm fairly new to Macros on Roll20, and I'm trying to create a macro for my players: I have two brand new, never played D&D players. I want to create a macro that will roll 7 groups of 4d6 and drop the lowest from each group. I've got that: /r 4d6dl1sd But I want to drop the lowest of the 7 groups as well. Is that possible? Is there someway I can nest these and end up with 6 results? I have a free account. Thanks!

You want the  grouped roll syntax. /r {4d6dl1,4d6dl1,4d6dl1,4d6dl1,4d6dl1,4d6dl1,4d6dl1}dl1
Thanks! You're right, but it doesn't give me 6 distinct results, it only gives me one. Seeing that in the macros guides was actually what inspired this idea. Essentially, what I have now is a macro like this: /r 4d6dl1 /r 4d6dl1 /r 4d6dl1 /r 4d6dl1 /r 4d6dl1 /r 4d6dl1 /r 4d6dl1 And then I look at all 7 and only take the highest 6. But, I want to know if I can make the macro kick out the low by default and only report the high six results. I'm trying to streamline the process for these new players that I'm TRYING to get interested. 
I'd probably go with /r {[[4d6dl1sd]], [[4d6dl1sd]], [[4d6dl1sd]], [[4d6dl1sd]], [[4d6dl1sd]], [[4d6dl1sd]], [[4d6dl1sd]]} kl1 which will output the lowest result to be ignored. It's not possible to 'hide' the lowest result.

Oho! That is definitely easier. :) Is it the double [[]] that create the boxes? 
Yup, those are Inline Rolls .
Ah, got it. Have to start somewhere. Thanks for the help! I think This will work fabulously well.
Good luck and happy rolling!
