You do not have to create it, you already have it, but with a different name. 
It is the file containing echo areas. When a new area is created it is appended 
to the file.

You just substitute 'Areafix' with 'Filefix' in the keywords above, for example 
FilefixFwdFile. You may find it in the documentation, specifically in the file 
fidoconfig.html, "3.4 Link definition keywords (Link section)". All such 
keywords, containing a robot name at their beginning are listed with an 
asterisk instead of the robot name. For example, "*AutoCreate" means 
AreafixAutoCreate or FilefixAutoCreate. And it is explicitly written in a note 
at the beginning of the section 3.4:

Note: '*' mark in keywords here means that it should be either substituted with 
robot's name to which appropriate setting is applied or omitted to apply to all 
robots.
