You don't mention what shell you are running in the hpterm window.

It sounds to me like your shell is timing out.  If you are using
csh(1), the pre-defined timeout variable is "autologout" and it is
initialized to 60 (minutes).  After 60 minutes with no input the shell
logs out.  Set it to 0 (in your ~/.cshrc or interactively) to
completely disable the feature.

I.e.:

set autologout=0

in your ~/.cshrc or at the keyboard.
