Hi guys,  I was wondering if there was a function in lisp that I could
call at any point in my function to exit the function?  Or just exit a
dotimes loop?  Thanks.

I am wondering if you've heard of CLHS?

... and sometimes you sit in front of that big CLHS and you know
definitely it is in there but you cannot find it till midnight
arrived...

So how to solve that?

PS: I'm so sure, you know this situation very well.

The easiest little reference is the one in the back of Paul Graham's
_ANSI Common Lisp_. You can leaf through it and it's well organized.
