And it doesn't resize after I hit enter - just puts up the new plot. But once I finally get out of the loop, it will finally remember what it's supposed to do and resize the final plot.

Don't do that. :-)
This is just how IDL works. All widget programs in IDL
work like this. They are all working off the same
"command interpreter loop" and if you interrupt the loop by
pausing or stopping program execution, you can't execute the
next "loop" command.
Here is an article that describes what is happening
in more detail and offers a couple of suggestions:
