I'm not sure about the 86, but 83 style, I'd do this:
Note:
D = number of rolls
N = minimum number to "succeed"
S = number of successes
-> = "store" command
=> = greater than or equal to symbol
lROLL = the list named ROLL, you'll have to change that to 86 syntax.
RandInt(1,6,D)->lROLL
sum(lROLL=>N)->S
Check all elements of the list against the constant N. This generates a
list (with the same length as lROLL) consisting of 0's and 1's. A 0 means
the corresponding element of lROLL is smaller then N, while 1 means that
the element of the list is greater then or equal to N. Then the sum of the
new list is calculated, which is the number of rolls that satisfy =>N.
