Yes, another program to try is Merkaartor.  You only have to give it the
server URL (in my case
http://imsortho.cr.usgs.gov:80/wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_Florida?)
and it downloads the capabilities file and presents you with a list of
layers.

I'm sure it's just me not getting the URL right or something, but I've found
Merkaartor acceptable so I never bothered.  Biggest problem is that WMS is
sloooow compared to TMS.
