How do I transfer arrange regions from Logic 8 to Logic 9 Pro?

Question

I am tired of waiting for Logix X or whatever it will be called and  intend to download Logic 9 pro  from the app store.   I  moved  my old Logic 8 to the  new  mountian lion macbook pro, but  am having  dreaded system error notifcations on the first project I started on the new computer. Simple  googling shows that  Mountain lion   does not like Logic 8.  Hence, my intent to download Logic 9 pro.  Hopefuly that  satisfies my needs until X comes out.
The question is simple. I have  a  2 audio regions and 2 software instrument regions in the  project I started in the old logic 8 . They are pretty much done and are the  backbone of this new  song.  How do I get these regions   over to  a new  Logic  9 project  when  9 is finally downloaded and on- board  the new computer.
Step by step instructions  would really be appreciated. Thank you.
Any tips/caveats  regarding the logic 9 download are also appreciated

Answer 1

When  you say "move logic 8 from the applications folder"  do you mean to click and drag somewhere? 
Where would I drag  it so that the project  only  opens up in  the newly installed logic 9?
Thank you. (I thought logic 9 would be empty and not automatically incorporate the existing   logic 8 projects).
