    I think you should be able to use CommandToClient ie:

    commandToClient('echo', 'My Test');

    Or you chould just create your own echo message and the call that. I don't know if there is a recomended way of doing this though.

    Are you trying to do the echo from from within script or C++ ?

    Con::printf("Some float value: %f", myFloat);
    there's also
    Con::warnf(), Con::errorf()
