Checked out a '98 9000CSE. Couple of Q's.

So, I looked over a '98 CSE and overall it's fairly good. The engine sounds good and the DI cassette was recently replaced (service records show at 149K miles and car has 151K miles). The front end has been pushed in slightly as you can see the right side of the grill is about 3/4" farther back and the hood is slightly bent. Things it needs: Hood and hatch shocks, front tires, sunroof won't go back (pops up, but won't go back down by the motor), high beams don't work, headlights are out of aim, one rear window won't roll down. The automatic seems to shift normally and power is good. All in all these are things that are easily fixed.
Here's the questions: It's been a few years since I had a 9000 and I'm trying to recall what each position is for. The farthest left I know turns on the headlights only when the ignition is on and the middle turns on only the parking lights. What is the farthest right supposed to do? Also, if I recall correctly the high beams are actuated simply by pulling on the turn signal stalk correct? This did absolutely nothing, but I'm sure is an easy fix.
