Seems like you had two problems and I didn't see any reference to the second
one initially. The first was the output of \echo going to the wrong place
which is fixed by using \qecho.
The second problem is that you are looking to have the variable 'ECHO' replaced
in the \qecho command with its current value. This is done using the variable
substitution syntax (i.e. the variable name within a pair of colons) like this:
\set ECHO Hello
\o testfile.txt
\qecho :ECHO: world
\q
Will cause the testfile.txt file to have a line that reads:
Hello world
HTH
Bosco.
