Also--could you tell us where you read that you need a new file? Perhaps the documentation needs to be cleared up...

Your brokerage account is just a standard Asset account.  Then you need to
create individual Stock or Fund accounts under that for each Stock or Fund

Stock or Fund commodity.

Please see the docs for more information.
