running evmlc globals --host=xxx --port=xxx does not update the configuration file, or the cached config (if there is one)

The program reads the config file from ~/.evmlc, which is a good default value, but it should be configurable.

• Allow setting location of configuration file via a CLI flag.
• In config command, indicate where the config is read from.

better display for large numbers.

ex current output:
5 | 0x01f1b35226737AF30129AA84735A96b765986526 | 1.3370000000000000005e+21 | 0 |

Need accounts to be encrypted and decrypted with different passwords rather than a single password file.

• Command accounts create should prompt for password by default unless or otherwise -p, --passsword flag is provided. [COMPLETED]
• Command transfer should also prompt for password by default when trying to transfer from an account.
• New command accounts update <address> should allow users to update password for an account if the previous password is known.

Add command to call /info endpoint.
Use -f formatting flag (similar to accounts)

It would be good to document what the commands do in the README.

A simple walkthrough of classic scenario would be useful:

• Configure host address
• Where to put keys, how to create keys - chance to introduce interactive mode
• Get accounts - what does it do behind the scenes
• Transfer
• Get account

Also update descriptions in the actual CLI.
More meaningful descriptions.
shortcuts

The transfer command says transferred at the end.
What it should really say is: transaction submitted or something like that.
We would need to track the transaction receipt to see if the transfer actually went through.
On way to do it would be to save the resulting txhash (with a description, timestamp...) in a special file, and implement a receipt command to query receipts by transaction hash.
So as a user, I could look up all the transactions that I have submitted so far (looking at the file) and call the
receipt command to check how/if it was executed.

Separate command (or flag) for accounts list to fetch local or remote accounts.
ex: accounts list local and accounts list remote

Some commands are suspiciously slow.
ex: globals, config, and even help
Is the program systematically trying to connect to the node even when it is not necessary?
