I'm trying to launch a terminal application from the Fluxbox Menu

Any help would be appreciated! TIA ...
You might try this:
urxvt -fn "xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15" -bg black -fg
green -e $SHELL -c "tail -20 ~/notes/leftoff.txt; $SHELL -li"
-e to urxvt expects you to pass the arguments to the command (from man
urxvt): -e command [arguments]
The way you were calling it you were telling urxvt to execute a command
called "tail -20 ~/notes/leftoff.txt; $SHELL" with no arguments.
