More command insecure

The more command allows a user to invoke shell. If it is run using the sudo command this will give a user a possibility to run whatever he wants with root's privilegies.
Does anybody know about a command with the same abilities that more but without escape to shell?

Sorry guys,
I found the solution:
the pg command with -r option does the job.

By the way, the same thing happens with vi, view, etc.
