pixelSpecular[0] = true;
   specular[0] = "1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0";
   specularPower[0] = 32.0;

It does not take an "image" per say but the above code should do it for you. (It uses an alpha map embedded in the base image I *think*)

Should you have read the docs, you would know.
You paint the alpha bitmap to mask the specular map.

Mapping in the context of this forum is level mapping rather than shader effects with mapping in the name, which is what I believe Stefan was referencing.
