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.
