after 2 weeks, it is getting a white coating over it, it still is the size

does this mean its healing ok?

Yes!

I did find some wound ointment for fish, which, IF you suggest I can *try*
to catch it & put that on (with a topping of denture powder),,, but am
wondering if I should just leave it alone now?

No. One of the big mistakes is treating a wound. One thing to do it once
when it is fresh, but fish actually start a healing/sealing process right
away that our good intentions sometime ruin.

I took a pic of the fish ( although not perfect) I can send to anyone
interested. ( I really do need to get back on my pic website someday & add
some)

You can send to me: ~ jan
