OK - since  I come in the exercise from the 2D view, this may do the trick.
So, in essence, all maps active in the Layer Manager will be treated
as elevation layers in wxNVIZ (?).

The old NVIZ I rigorously started from CMD line :-)

nviz elev=elevation colo=flowacc

Indeed, I am surprised (extra unrelated issue) that flowacc has this
range:

r.univar flowacc
 100%
total null and non-null cells: 525000
total null cells: 0

Of the non-null cells:
----------------------
n: 525000
minimum: -253898
maximum: 15278.2
range: 269176
mean: -275.776
mean of absolute values: 311.452
standard deviation: 4199.2
variance: 1.76333e+07
variation coefficient: -1522.69 %
sum: -144782397.558392

Thanks, Anna. I'll get to speed with it for sure.
