I figured it out. I included an \f switch within the XE code for each index (e.g., one for \f "Topics" and another using \f "Acronyms").
EX: { XE "LMS" \f "Acronyms" }
Then, on each page where I want the two indexes to appear, I used the INDEX code and specified which switch to display:
{ INDEX \e "......." \c "3" \f "Acronyms" }
This would show a list of all of the acronyms (marked with XE \f "Acronyms"), in three columns (\c "3"), with dots for the ".........." tab leader for right-aligned page numbers.
Then on the other page, used the same INDEX code, but replaced "Acronyms" with "Topics", and also changed number of columns from 3 to 2.
Worked perfectly.
