I am aware of the series command for some time now. "Define new
variable" should do what it is supposed to do: namely create variable
items not scalar items. To add scalars, there is the "Add" icon. Check
the Scalars window!
Talha, a variable can be various things, including scalars, series, and
other stuff, so it's not a bug. But it's true that it may not be totally
clear to new users why they aren't getting a constant series when
entering c=1. I think this could be solved by including a hint in the
text of the small dialog window (sth like "use 'scalar' or 'series'
to
avoid ambiguities if necessary").

Thanks for the workaround!
Well, I will tell you about these things only if you want to hear about them.
hey, take it easy... many other developers in other projects sound
*always* much more snappy (if that's the right term) than Allin did just
*once* now. BTW I would tend to agree that the current behavior is
really not a problem and arguably the most convenient behavior not only
for the program (and its programmer) but also for the user. We don't
want more nagging alert windows I think.
cheers,
