In maxima there is a file series.lisp, but it belongs to the core
of maxima, thus loading it is not necessary. If there ever was an
add on package series, it must have been renamed/removed when
series.lisp was introduced - otherwise it wouldn't be visible to
load(), because load() would try to load series.lisp.
That's about all I can find out without having access to DOE-macsyma.
Perhaps you can post where to find the above mentioned manual?

I don't know how to do this with current maxima, but it's a nice
problem and probably not too difficult. Anyone?
