If by "the no-delta" reminders you mean pretend that all the deltas are
zero, then there's no built-in way.  You could do a hack similar to this
at the top of your reminders file:

    IF defined(no_delta)
        FSET d(x) ""
        FSET dd(x) ""
    ELSE
        FSET d(x) "+" + x
        FSET dd(x) "++" + x
    ENDIF


Then in all of your reminders, replace +n with [d(n)] and ++n with
[dd(n)] like this:

Original:

    REM whatever +3 MSG foo
    REM another ++5 MSG bar

Replaced:

    REM whatever [d(3)] MSG foo
    REM another [dd(5)] MSG bar

Then if you invoke Remind with the command-line option: -ino_delta=1
it will essentially take away all the deltas.

Yes, it's a hack.
