Is this the syntax to declare a session level array?
global.asa
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.myArray()
End Sub

No, the Session object is a bit quirky with arrays. To put an array in there you have to define and populate your own array variable, then you do:
Session("myArrayKey") = myArrayVariable
Likewise if you want to change anything in an array which is stored in the Session you first have to pull the array out of the Session into your own array variable, then you change your array variable, then you write the whole array back into the Session overwriting the existing array.

Thanks Phil, but your way seems cumbersome. Check this out.
global.asa
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCript" RUNAT="Server" >
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.myArray()
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
some asp page code
dim loopCount
loopCount = 1
If Request.QueryString.Count > 0 Then
For Each Item in Request.QueryString
Session("myArray("&loopCount&")") = Request.QueryString(Item)
Response.Write(Session("myArray("&loopCount&")") & "<br />")
loopCount = loopCount + 1
Next
Else
Response.Write("No Items in yourArray")
End If

Greetings Phil,
The crow I'm eating right now is gross. I'm not sure why the code works for me but I'm sure something is wrong with it.

Yes it is cumbersome - I didn't claim it was pretty  , but your loop doesn't create an array in the Session, it just creates multiple scalar values under the keys myArray1, myArray2 etc.
