As far as just copying a track, closing the project, and then pasting the track in another project, I tired that a couple of times.   It does not work.

I just did it to confirm, it does indeed work. Maybe a different track was selected and it pasted out of range of what you were seeing?

This does indeed work. I do it all the time.

Also dragging into the media browser is a great way to transfer stuff.

Open the first project,then in the upper right corner  of the first project click the minimize botton (-) ,there will be two,click the second one,you then should see the project minimized in sonar then open the new one and minimize it also, you should see both projects at the bottom left of sonars profect window minimized,bring up the first project and copy the track you want to transfer,minimize the first one,maximize the second one and go to the menu bar at the top click Edit-Paste.

Depending on the track count of the project one relatively easy way is also to delete all unwantef tracks from the project and save under a new name with "copy all audio" checked. At least that makes sure that everything, envelopes and whatever there can be, will be included.
 
When trying that copy-paste, did you close SONAR to open the new project (as I understood you didn't know how to have two projects open)? That might erase the clipboard.

Yes, I copied, closed, then opened a new project.  That does not work.   
 
I will try the suggestions given.   Thanks, everyone!!

When closing, you are just closing the project right? Not closing SONAR. Closing SONAR will lose the copy buffer contents.

I have found - at least for me - that when opening new projects wiithin Sonar, keeping Sonar open makes it sluggish, for whatever reason.   I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or not.   That's why I close Sonar and reopen projects.   It just runs easier.

But you only need to keep it open long enough to copy the file. Then you can save the project with the pasted file, and close Sonar and re-open if you like.

True.
Thanks!

Even easier: Save as - give it new name. Delete everything but the drums on new file - done.
