You'd be better to do the following:
1 - Create a new project by going to the file menu and picking "New" (don't
press Ctrl+N or you won't get what you want);
2 - Work through the new project dialog and you'll be able to specify the
location for both the .cwp and the related audio files;
3 - Press W to make sure you're at the start of the project (you might want
to press Ctrl+PageDown to pace yourself on bar 2 - a good idea for MIDI);
4 - Go to a MIDI track (or create one, if necessary) and, choose Import|MIDI
from the File menu then browse to the MIDI file you want to bring in.
Best wishes.

Thanks! Just one more tiny problem. When I do a save as, it works, it
makes it a project and all. But it doesn't seem to want to use a per
projectfolder. E.g., when I imported the midi into a project, it made foo,
with foo.cwp and an audio subfolder, even though there was no audio in it.
When I opened the midi and set it up and then saved it as a project, it just
made bar.cwp in my projects directory, no folder. How do I get it to make a
folder?
I did open a new project, bar, when I started Sonar, but when I did "save
as" it wanted to save it as a midi, so I had to change the type to project,
it actually says normal for some reason, and then change the filename myself
to bar.cwp. So it wanted to resave the midi I had just opened. So let's
say I opened proudmary.mid, but when I made a new project when opening Sonar
it was bar. So I insert a softsynth an route all of the midi tracks to it,
etc., and it plays Proud Mary, I save as and save bar.cwp, close Sonar and
open bar.cwp. It works, Proud Mary plays and at the right tempo, just like
I set it up. Except bar.cwp is just sitting in my main projects folder, not
a subfolder of its own, which is where I want it to be.
