[Info-vax] What "VAX" was this ...

Was going down memory lane swapping war stories and trying to remember
a VAX box I breiefly programmed on in the late 90's. Would like to
know the name of it.
It was a separate console with monitor and keyboard built in. Was
using C but had special libraries for "record" files.
Made calls out to an "Assembly Language" which was more of "low-level
script" or "macro assembler".
The keyboard had a separate "number-pad" which you used to enter
commands for an EVE editor.
The keyboard had a bulls-eye key.
There was a printer attached, but it was amazingly complicated to
actually print to it from the console.
Ring any bells?

Thanks.
