"Cheat Sheet" is an slang expression meaning a crib sheet or a
reference paper to refer to when memory escapes you. Cheat Sheets have
been used by computer users to refer to listed commands such as an HTML
cheat sheet; a Windows user commands cheat sheet; etc.
In the case of that AltaVista page, they are calling it a Cheat Sheet
as a hint to you to print out the page for ready reference.
