    It is something like "У меня всё в порядке" or simply "Хорошо"

    Well......translating it word for word means я делаю хорошо , you're right vbouldr, but as a reply to the question "how are you doing?" it means what MasterAdmin posted.

    Perhaps the best equivalent of "I'm doing well" is "Я поживаю хорошо". But if you look at it in context then "Хорошо" will suffice:

    - How are you going?
    - I'm doing well.

    - Как дела? or Как поживаете?
    - Хорошо.

    As in "Liar, Liar" Jim Carrey's character answers:
    -How is it hanging?
    - Short and to the left
