In response to this prompt, type the new value for the specular index. Press <enter> to confirm. If you type a '?' followed by <enter>, the selection submenu will be displayed where you can make your selection from the available file maps for the specular index.

Comments
The specular index determines the size of the highlight on the surface of an object. A low value (e.g., 10) will give a large highlight, while a high value (e.g., 150) will give a small highlight. In general do not use vaues lower than 2. Any value map can be entered in response to the prompt instead of a single numerical value.
