Here is the rules for it. From IPDB.
The first few times I played ST I quite simply ignored that extra flipper. Big mistake. In order to control the ball in ST, you'll need to use it. For instance, it's possible to drop-catch balls coming from the Recon scoop. It's also good for slowing down balls coming from the right inlane, and then catching it with the regular flipper.

Shoot Bugs with the mini-flipper, or at least try to make the machine think you did! It makes advancing through planets so much easier!

You may notice it's extremely hard (the word "impossible" comes to mind) to shoot the Arm Nukes hole with the regular right flipper. While it's possible to do a bank-shot from the left flipper, try this instead: Catch the ball on the regular right flipper. Holding this flipper up, flip the mini-flipper. If you're lucky (1 time out of 3 perhaps), the ball will land in the Arm Nukes hole. I assume the odds for success vary from machine to machine.

Does the 3rd Flipper work on US Keyboards? I've tried converting the Button Locations but I still can't get it to work. Any ideas??

It should be KeyUpperRight in the script. If it is keycode 40, for US keyboards it is the ' key - the one directly to the left of the enter key.
