Having delved into the HP-125 myself as a self-training course in how an
operating system works, I'll wager you're running into some problems with
function keys and screen paging.  HP made their CP/M quite specific to the
machine and made use of several 'pages' of screen memory, as well as ANSI
screen display logic, and multiple-use function keys.

As far as I could tell, they never intended it to be used often as a
standalone CP/M machine, but rather as a "word processor/Basic Programming/
Spreadsheet" machine.  The specifics of the hardware is probably what is
killing you.  Best of luck in getting it to work ... I don't think you will.
