The easiest way is to go into the function editor and add a "Texture map" type node (which type depends on the circumstances). Load the specular map into the node and connect it to the "highlights" output. Depending on what you want to achieve, you can also connect the output to highlight intensity and/or size.

See image above for an example.

You can also use "Variable highlights" and use one of the procedural functions, or get the exact same result as "thd777" suggests with "Edit Function", forces you into the function editor :)
